Guest Sql_pl Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Great watch but there is something wrong with the crown, is it a T48 for sure? Looks like there is a bigger distance between teeth than usual... hmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martyd3 Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 I should have went with that lume color! As far as the crown goes, I think he is saying the teeth do not look right. The crown to case spacing is correct. Looking at the gen pics, T48 or not, the crown looks pretty good to me and my CG fits better too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing off I can see is that the dial is sitting a bit low compared to gen. Is that because of the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyd3 Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 It could be the case or just crystal distortion. I picked this case because of the bezel height and the way the lugs curve down. It's good, but not perfect. I think it will look even better once the 1:1 crystal is installed.

Cats Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Marty, these rep ups are igniting the PAM bug in me again. I have to close this post at once because I feel a huge investment coming up. Wear it well. By the way did the crown guard came that way out of the box or did you do a lot of modding Carpe Diem Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyd3 Posted November 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I re-brushed the CG, polished and set the pin ... that's it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyd3 Posted November 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 Guys, I've had some questions about the mods that I did and if I could do them for other members. I'll be out of work in two weeks (laid off), so I would gladly take on some projects. I can lume the FGD dials and hands, install H3 cannon pins, refinish the CG's, drill the case for double screw bars ... etc. Mod, if I needed approval first to post something like this, my apologies. Please let me know how to proceed and I will gladly comply. Thanks. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can I suggest you dont offer an open service till you have got yourself into a system etc You know what I mean I hope, as much as your offer is generous it could be taken advantage of if things dont go quite according to plan I am trying to be subtle and hopefully you know what I mean as subtleness isnt always a strong point for me, though I try!! God how I try !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
