bertieng Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Just would like to ask where did you source the gen handset? Seems to be pretty hard to get on the market actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sander Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 One minor nitpick: if possible, try to turn down the bezel in order to lessen the gap between the crystal and the tachy ring. Nice build man! I have the same It's also very nice with a bracelet! much better than I expected. The problem with lowering the movement is the cap between the tachy and the crystal. The biggest issue is that the crystal is pressed inn, from from the inside of the bezel instead of from the outside. So normaly the crystal is hold in place by the tachyring. In this case (with the cap), the crystal is only hold by a very very thin edge of the bezel (this edge is like 0,5mm). if you push the crystal with your thumps, you can probably push it in. So for water resistance it's not the best construction. I have solved this by lowering the movement not as far as yours. Also I have shaved the gasket between the bezel and case a little. You will not see this but it's enough to keep the crystal in place. I would do one other mod if I were you http://www.rwg.cc/topic/137108-how-to-mod-your-ap-pusher/page__hl__%2Bpusher+%2Bsander Ciao, Sander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertieng Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 Why lowering the movement? I trust the movement is well fit into the case and lock in place. How can lowering the moevment is possible? And what's the point of doing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what's the point of doing it? The crown position on a 7750 movement is in line with the chrono pushers. On a 2892 movement with DD module, the crown is placed lower than the pushers. In order to make it work, you have to lower the movement or make extensions for the pushers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, missed out this point. Then perhaps shaving the bezel gasket will be the best solution to minimize the gap problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpohl402 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 I know how this one looks and feels - one just like it is sitting on my wrist as I type. ;-) Very nice. The dial is hard to accurately photograph and has to be seen in person, but you've done a very admirable job of capturing its beauty here.One minor nitpick: if possible, try to turn down the bezel in order to lessen the gap between the crystal and the tachy ring.
