Ephry73 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Posted September 1, 2012 Was putting the watches together to see what project I could tackle next once I complete the SSDs and thought of a little group shot while I had the chance. Can't really pick a favorite yet. But I guess it is all based on what mood I am in and what I'm doing while wearing the watch. From left to right, my Monte Carlo, the 9411, 16800/610 still in progress, the SSD with emergency dial and the exotic dial 6263 wearing a Donerix custom strap. One picture, just because. E 2
Inertiadrifter Posted September 1, 2012 Report Posted September 1, 2012 One word!! Very truly awesome!!!!!
mir36 Posted September 1, 2012 Report Posted September 1, 2012 Nice collection! Can you share the specs of the 6263?
Ephry73 Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Posted September 1, 2012 Thank you guys. These normally spend their life in drawers or in my tool box as my mood changes or I need to upgrade. All of these, except for the 6263 have gen eta movements. The 6263 has an Asian 7750 reworked by the Spinmaster(edited) himself. 6263 Specs(edited) DW case and bezel (this may change once I find a proper and decently priced bezel) gen tube and crown and gen pushers Reshaped and softened by me 3ATM tested DW and eBay and Ofrei hands Dial sourced from Chiman and looks awesome. I cleaned up a bit and that's it. Will source a crown eventually Clark's T21 crystal Donerix Bund strap and also have a gen 7835 folded strap with '71 ends for it. Monte Carlo specs DW case set(Reshaped and softened by me. Water proof tested to only 3ATM but that is fine by me) DW crystal DW dial and hands thus far(The dial was aged and baked with the hands by me to give it a sun damaged effect and it works well for me) Gen crown and tube(changed from 702 to a 703 folded back) gen pushers Valjoux 7734 gen movement refurbished and cleaned still waiting on a 45min conversion 7836 folded bracelet and 580 ends and love the look. The Donerix strap looks great on it , but love it better on a NATO or bracelet I'll do a full pictorial and specs breakdown one of these days. All gaskets and o-rings have been sourced from Clark's and lubed accordingly Thanks for the comments guys @CC I'm building one 6263 like yours one of these days.
Ephry73 Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Posted September 1, 2012 Thanks Woof. I definitely have to pick up some of M's writing skills and detail some of the ones I'm proud of. E
janeto72 Posted September 2, 2012 Report Posted September 2, 2012 Nice E! They are all beauties.Really,people need to see these in person to appreciate their beauty...
Ephry73 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Posted September 2, 2012 Thanks J. Btw, edit. The 7750 movement was worked on by Spinmaster, not Zig. Had a weird moment there.
Ephry73 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Posted September 8, 2012 TC lume matches the gen pearl perfectly.
archierocks Posted September 8, 2012 Report Posted September 8, 2012 excellent eph il need to see them in person next time im over in NY
Ephry73 Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Posted September 8, 2012 You're welcomed anytime brother.
Ephry73 Posted September 13, 2012 Author Report Posted September 13, 2012 Unfortunately I may have to sell a few to pay for books and some "IRS error" If anyone is interested in the 6263 and the snowflake let me know. I will make an official for sale thread later. I hate to do this, but it is what it is. E
