The start of my GMT16750 build


archierocks

Recommended Posts

So the parts have started to arrive for the first of my GMT builds my first one is a 16750

i ordered a josh 1655 to be the base of the watch $158.00 is prob the poorest rep i have from josh quality wise crowns really stiff nightmare setting it bracelet is horrible on and a nightmare to adjust even tho its just moving a spring bar .

movement sounds like part of the titanic swinging about

but saying that i will be taking it apart so not too fussed but if i had bought it has a rep to wear i would have been disappointed .

i managed to get a gen 16750 insert i wanted a faded one and picked mine up for around $60

i got a gen 116 crystal for $90

add in a gen crown and tube for around $200

waiting on a few sets of hands coming from yuki/raffles/startime to see what i like best

i have new gaskets and I am working on the rest of the bezel i have got gen spring bars and gen quality ones coming too so i can compare for future builds.

dial wise im trying to get a gen dial but not having much luck also waiting on some dials coming back in to stock with yuki

then the bracelet hunt will begin but heres a few iphone pics of what i have so far and i can start work on the case and lug holes while i wait
