Omega Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 After the birth of my daughters I had no time to spend in my hobby for a while. So this should be the first finished project after the break. I hope there are coming some more up... To the specs: - GMT IIc from the Noob factory - Polished rehaut to make the engravings not to be so much present - gen tube and crown - cyclops with AR, perfect centred - BK datewheel, all numbers perfect centred (changed because Noob datewheel has bigger and thiner font) - serviced ETA 2836-2 witch runs +2cec/day - replaced inlay to sit deeper in the bezel Next to do: - install a CHS module (if someone has one for sale please contact me!) Enjoy, I hope you like it (and sorry for the bad pics, they are taken with a iPhone): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krpster Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Looks really good Omega. It's great that you can time in for your hobby, something I am struggling with having two young kids myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifter Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 My daughter was born 11/30/10! Congrats to you! Your watch is amazing! How did you AR the cyclops? That is the only thing stopping me from starting a gmtIIc project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Perfect . It shows what a talented person can do with a common base model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted January 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Thanks guys. I am glad to see you like it... It's the actual version which are selling our trusted dealers, so the watch comes with this bezel inlay. The numbers are very sharp even if you look at them thru a mag...it's really a big improvement. On this model I think the inlay makes the watch...

That is the only thing stopping me from starting a gmtIIc project. Congrats, my friend! My girlies are 15 month now...a and a ...and I am only the It's a cyclops from caruwe. I bought the watch with this upgrade, but it was not perfect aligned and the glue I think was not the correct one, so I reattached it. You can also contact chieftang, maybe he can help you in any way. And don't be afraid to get the cyclops off - it is very easy - you even have not to dissamble the watch!

panerai153 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Could you give us a quick post on how you removed the cyclops? i have an AR'ed cyclops from the same source.I would love to replace the non AR cyclops with the AR one. I can't disassemble the watch, so i need to be able to do it with the watch assembled. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Use a storm lighter directly on the cyclops - not in the bezel direction - 'till the color changes darker (3-5 seconds) and push it off with some brass tool. Clean the crystal with a blade from the old glue and after that with glass cleaner. Buy some good UV glass glue, make a small drop on the crystal and press the cyclops once to push the glue out, now find the correct position and put it under a UV lamp for few seconds - that's it! If you have no UV lamp you can use also the daylight for a few minutes, it will also be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trendspoke Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 or visit a solarium There should be enough UV lamps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
