@Pombok ... It would be nice if you can tag me too cause I'm really interested in a 16800 build thread.

 

My first 16800 build was a VERY low budget cause it was my first complete attempt to build a watch :

- first time I modded a complete dial with circled indexes

- first time I drilled and chamfered lugs

- first time I reworked a case

- first time I sanded a rehaut

- first time I engraved a caseback

- so many first times ...

I just bought a BP11610 and 2mm bars and did all the modds myself so I kept the project under 150 $.

At the end I know the watch has many flaws but I'm still really happy with the result.

Now that I have improved my skills a little I'd like to build a better one, probably starting with a JF16610LN.

 

Here are some more pics of my 150 $ build

Also @QueTip posted something on Geek or RWI about 16800 builds which was thorough as usual. He should have posted it here, naughty boy, but he might post a link or I will try to find it later.

I can post it on here too. Give me a few hours though. I'm out.

I'll mention you once it's up.
