tghodin Posted May 14, 2012 Report Posted May 14, 2012 About 2 months ago i posted some questions regarding a 5512 Chapter ring i wanted to build. Since, i sourced some parts including the key piece dial from inGod44. The images are completely crap, but i will upload better ones later tonight. Features: Josh 5512 Base Gen T19 Service Dome Gen Thin Font Service Insert inGod44 5512 Chapter Ring Dial Gilt 5512 Yuki Hands Vintage Leather Band. Waiting for: Gen crown Gen tube
woof* Posted May 14, 2012 Report Posted May 14, 2012 Love the dial Since you used Yuki's hands, ETA movement?
freddy333 Posted May 14, 2012 Report Posted May 14, 2012 Already nice, but it will be a killer with the proper crown. Now if 1 of the after-marketeers would just produce some accurate ETA Mercedes handsets.
tghodin Posted May 14, 2012 Author Report Posted May 14, 2012 Yes, indeed a ETA, a swiss 2836-2 (still looking for a proper 2846-2). And as for the crown, amen, i hate the look of the cartel fat-ass crown, but cant seem to locate any decently priced gen crowns lately...head me up if anyone wanna sell
milesd Posted May 14, 2012 Report Posted May 14, 2012 Man, that InGod dial looks great! I have one coming in for for my 5513 and I was thinking about having it relumed, but I think I'll stick with it as is! As Freddie said, the crown will REALLY help!

You can also find 703's on ebay in the 50-70$ range quite often too.
JoeyB Posted May 14, 2012 Report Posted May 14, 2012 Smith Supply in Los Angeles has genuine Swiss ETA 2846 NOS for $80. Be careful, they misused my credit card, though my card company got it all straightened out. The movement had a Bulova rotor, was new and pristine and runs beautifully. http://www.smithsupplyhouse.com/eta28swau6.html
tghodin Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Posted May 18, 2012 Awaiting a gen 703 Crown now, any ideas to whom i should send the case to get a 7030 tube installed? Preferably in EU
