mille metri lands!

Recommended Posts

Woo-hoo! Happy new year!!! Just in and straight on the wrist!. The ultimate homage: quick and dirty images of my bead-blasted steel mille metri sterile build courtesy of Esdee! sterile dial lumed by dow and movement/ build put together by Andy Schuhren (I did not trust myself on this one!!). Strap is rubber modded by esdee to fit I also have a custom strap by budda jones (coq straps black sharkskin waterproof) with sewn-in pre-v sterile buckle to try later on. Is very comfortable and eve though steel and not titanium does not feel bulky. After a long wait is finally on the wrist....

team ingredients as follows:

 

 

 

esdee mm case set and pad printed sterile dial, steel case bead blasted
esdee rubber strap notched to fit 21mm lugs (sourcing prev 20mm screw-in buckle atm)
dial relumed by dow, hands stock 2824-2
eta 2824-2 movement with h5 sourced and installed by andy schuhren (entire assembled by andy)
 
I need to wear this and see where wear would have occurred to case- then cape cod for a while locally ....
 
Cant take my eyes off this. So many times one purchases watches or assembles parts to be ultimately slightly disappointed. Not with this one.....

It looks a lot larger in the pics than it wears. It is 16.2mm tall, similar to most fiddys, but the sheer bezel sides make it look larger. I am back with the modded citizen rubber strap- the head is incredibly well balanced when on, and this one along with budda jones strap are my favs. First outing undrwater yesterday...

Essdee over on hf

Ti, steel and bronze

Gen dial is perfect fit. There is one frank ennui know of with gen dial completed, and two planned I am aware of.

Franken! Damn iPhone lol

Thanks for the info.Unfortunately if there are 3 gen dial projects planned that accounts for all the gen dials I am aware of.
