Dizzy Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 The forcast called for 3-4cm of snow overnight... more like half a foot so far! I thought I would take my newest MBW1665 creation out for a breath of fresh air. MBW1665 old case modded and aged lightly gen t-39 superdome gen insert (I love how they snap right in!) & tritium pearl gen bezel assembly gen crown and tube gen white 1665 tritium dial saved from the "Re-dialer" and modded by me. ETA 2846 motor with Puretime flat top 3 datewheel (aligns perfect) gen 9315 folded bracelet The dial was trashed and ready to be repainted. Offered the owner a trade for my gen singer repaint dial, so my old repaint went to the watchmaker for a new paintjob, and his original gen dial went into my pocket. After a lot of work I ended up with super aged and dark orange markers and a really faded black water damaged look. Dizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Looking good, Dizz. Keep warm, and maybe while you're snowed in and dealing with cabin fever, you can snap some close ups of the new toy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted January 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Ive got a Yuki 7206 stretchy link coming for it any day now... This 9315 is in the twilight of its lifetime, meaning there isnt much meat left in those folded links and its wearing thin. I think the 7206 will look good with this dial. I'll take some better pics with the new bracelet when it arrives. dizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I recognize that girl, I did a labor epidural on her a few weeks ago!! She's looking pretty hot now, must have weighed at least 40 # more when she was pregnant. Her younger sister is a hottie too, but she's a little bigger!! :thumbsupsmileyanim: didn't mean to step on any toes guys,lots of us are rednecks around here.
