archierocks Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 i know lol im trying to figure out how to work the crown guards and advice im putting in the 7mm crown rather than the 5.3 cos i think it looks better i have both to play around with 2 verions a new shiny one and a vintage aged one might actually end up with two builds shiny and vintage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Check out Zeleni's GMT, he's got a really nice yuki dial. They are out if stock on this dial right now, but you can email yuki and see when he will have one. Z's GMT is one really killer lookin watch. Joeys lexan insert is for a 6542? I have to finish my 5512, install my incoming phong hev for 1665, pay off a certain Tudor chrono....and then I will finally be ready to start a good 1675 Look forward to watching your progress on this GMT !
