I bought a code yellow case without hands and this is what it turned out to be a Fantasy Breitling Something ;-)

This watch was doomed cause:

Code yellow hands unavailable

Watch was/isnt keeping good time

Has tiny scratches on the AR ;-(

Tube of chrono hand broke

Parts:

  • Code Yellow Case+Dial

  • Tachyring of a regular Skyland (white numerals)

  • Chrono hands of a regular Skyland(white)

  • Regular Skyland hands(white)

  • Large Chrono of a Super Avenger (Thanks a lot Ocram!)

  • Bracelet from a Seawolf

  • I Brushed the top of the case what a [censored] to do and needs some more work

Pics:

I think 99.5% of people will never notice the hands issue. You have done very well and made a total loss watch into a daily wear piece.

I would wager closer to 99.9995% ;)

Good job that!

It's better to bring a watch back to life than leave it dead in a drawer :)

That is the truth right there. Better to be functional and enjoyed.

Thanks indeed mate! Watch without hands is worth noting ;-)

@Ray...looks great...creative use of parts to make a sharp looking watch...

i completely brushed one of my v2 skylands (case and bracelet) and the look is so much less blingy, but still sporty...i still have blingy breitlings - but don't need a squad of them...

well done and wear it well...

fyi - found that the rehaut on the code yellow is so faintly yellow, that its tough to see anyways...

stay tuned for a future set of pix...i just transplated my "swiss made" code yellow into a v2 case...added a gen DP stray/buckle...it works well...so much better... :)

R-
