jmb Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 A while back I sold my "Red" Ranger and was immediately struck with "seller's remorse" and vowed I would build up another one day. I don't often surf through the sales section but a few weeks ago I felt drawn to that subforum and was immediately rewarded! Datlore001 had listed a partially completed Range with a couple of "problems" and we worked a deal and it was on it's way to me! It turns out that the Yuki dial was a bit on the small side, diameter wise, and the feet didn't center it on the movement very well. I machined a very snug movement spacer, clipped the feet and glued the dial to the movement perfectly centered, and put things together. When I finished I dispensed with the black strap and added a 19mm Brushed Oyster and it was done! Thanks to Datlore for passing this on to me and hope y'all enjoy the pics of this "lowly" 34mm watch!

woof* Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Very nice J, I really like the patina of the dial. I never noticed the little "block" on the end of the seconds hand.. pretty cool! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnipz Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 How about a wrist shot? I'm tempted to get it but will it fit my wrists or is it a smaller size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
