Cartel's 1655 explorer, best case to build the vintage 1675 gmt (Cornino)

[Guest zeleni kukuruz]

So im here in Croatia on vecation for another two weeks. And i got a special gift from a very special forum member Dadog13, he hasent been around for awile but i have meet him in person and he is realy a GREAT friend, he visited me here in Croatia. And this summer he gave me a great cartel 1655 explorer. It has alreday some modds done to it like drilled lugholes new plexi. But i have all the other parts to build another Cornino, this time i will use a chapter ring dial and the new Clark bezel assamble (great btw) its going to look sexy as hell when my best friend in Paris (Jean) is done with it! For thouse who wants to build a vintage 1675 Rolexaddict in France is the BEST man for the job!!! But he is fully booked to september.

So here is the explorer i got from dadog13, HUGE THANKS MATE!!! But next time you see it (in september) it will look a hole lot sexyer

im putting a yuki in mine seems to fight just nice

[Guest zeleni kukuruz]

Yeha yuki dials is a stright fitt

[archierocks]

all i need is a nice movement holder to just add to the feel and setting of the dial if anyone knows where to source it would be great

[woof*]

Thanks Z!

I forgot ...when I wanna know a dial size.....go check Yuki's site.. as he has dial sizes with every dial.

His Gmt dials are 27.3. Since a few members have already built these, a 27.3 dial must fit in the cartel case. I'm gonna go buy my dial now

[Guest zeleni kukuruz]

All his white letter 1675 dials are back-stock i think! He has the gilt ones i think. I emailed him one hour ago just to ask him if he will stock the white letter ones.
