AsiadeCuba Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 nice comparison good. i feel like the hardest part to mod is the datewheel. eventually i modded the crap out of mine but the lack of a properly printed silver datewheel put me off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But remember, a service replacement was white so, not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justasgood Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Now I wonder how much one of these will run as is to mod later. E Well, When I am done with this one. i figure market value will be around $900-$1000.00 Figure: Gen 9315 Bracelet, Gen crystal, gen insert, gen crown, gen tube, slow beat Gen eta serviced, DW overlay, Shape the case and CG's, gen spring bars(Drill out to accept). $1000.00 may be a little low now that I think about it......

Cats Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 This is my MBW from Narikaa with the following modds. Gen Crown , Gen Tube , Gen Insert , Gen crystal ( still have to get Kurt's installed ) , gen endlinks and a white dial with Andy's lume and some good old case work Didn't do the calculation on this one but i shure it's well over 1000 € . Can't do the modds myself so there is also a lot of labour cost involved Carpe Diem Cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
