RBT1680 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I am thinking about taking on this using all sterile parts. I really like the look of the Big Crown Bond Sub and I am not looking to get hung up on the little inconsistentcies of the Gen vs Rep. I just want the look with a solid movement for a daily wear watch. any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perry563 Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I would just buy the cartel Bond watch and send to Pbdad for rework. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBT1680 Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 What would the rework list consist of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyB Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 I like the case and am using it to build a 6542. You have the options of ETA or 21J movement, and only a bit of beveling the edges makes it quite accurate looking. You need to sand down the crystal, it does not mount as the gen does, and glue it in, but that's how the cartel watch is done. These pics show the case beveled and I had it engraved between the lugs. The bezel needs beveling for a 6542, but should be good for a Sub. http://www.rwg.cc/topic/145214-its-a-red-letter-day/page__hl__%2Bred+%2Bletter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
