projectologist Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I just received the tracking # for my 3646 Cali being shipped from Erfurt. I got my name on the list for one of VDB's project case sets as soon as they were announced at the end of last year. Last week I shipped the movement and Cali dial off to Germany for the transplant and hands upgrade. Absolutely 1:1 inside and out (yes I know that T's minute hand is a smidge too long for the Cali version 3646... but I think I'll be able to live with that). Per gen the case back and bezel screw into the movement/coupling ring. Guess you could say I'm more than excited And here are some teaser pics I found in my PM box while on my lunch break today. More pics once it arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hiker01 Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 You beat me to the 3646 project.....Congrats! I'll be working on mine soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectologist Posted April 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Any straight on shots? Just this shot of the dial (with gold RR track) and hands just before shipping it off (the old hands still attached). Also, one final pic VDB sent, a little closer to straight-on. Watch was shipped from Germany today... should arrive Friday and can post pics Sat. Here's the old case set I replaced (Type G Cali case with a Type F bezel and plexi) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earlgrey-erfurt Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Didn t shot a front job cause 1. watchhead lonely didn't want to stay alone without wobbling and fall on one side and 2. the more important one FEDEX want to catch up the parcel earlier.... so only some quick shots to please a customer mea culpa Helmut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
