oncyte Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 Well....after a long wait for parts to trickle in my 061 is close to completion. I've been tempted to give up on the project so many times and instead to just buy a franken that was recently for sale. It was honestly tough to hold back! It may not be as nice as his but it'll do. Now on with my pics! Comments, questions, suggestions.....whatever you like!

StormTooper4 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 That dial looks pretty perfect, is it the filled sausage type (not sure how else to describe it) I don't know what years it was like that C,D. I think. impressive watch

Really sweet watch there buddy :thumbsupsmileyanim: All you need now is some AR on that crystal and it's just as good!!
PeteM Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 Really reallly nice Sam, as always you produce some great reps but you always understate how good they are mate. I love that dial and I honestly dont think those pics do it justice...especially with that bloody background again!!!!!! I think the only thing you need is a better CG maybe OEM!!!
w0lf Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 That's Oncyte's trademark background Stunning watch, love the CG, did the lever come with this CG initially?

You'll know once I move...because my countertops will change! Ha...I keep thinking about your OEM CG in the FS section!

Ya...when I sell something I shouldn't need to tag my pics anymore....my countertops should be good enough. Wow...good eye on the lever....it was from an old school CG I had waaay back when....had a nice lever but crappy CG....and this one had a nice CG but really crappy lever....so the only thing to do was make the swap. How did you figure out that it was changed?

TK471 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Posted June 3, 2010 I know you've probably got a bit more to go, but it looks fantastic. Really, really nice piece.

w0lf Posted June 4, 2010 Report Posted June 4, 2010 Oncyte, There were oldschool cases that came with with an awesome CG body, good pin placement (slightly toward the top of CG instead of dead center), albeit the lever tip was a bit too thin on them. So I figured you either used a brushed SS CG or one of those good Ti CGs with and did a lever swap to brushed SS lever or some magic Ti lever I've not seen before. And yeah, there's no AR on C models. A/R starts with D series in manual winds.
