dutchguy2 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Posted February 9, 2013 Thanks guy's. Yes, I would like to keep it as an early 16610 with Tritium dial/hands. Thanks for the bracelet tips. Any comments on the hands? I am so anal about hands, would like to know your opinion. Just changed the case to a TC case, did not like the ST case, will be for sale soon :-) Only need to drill the lug holes on the TC case.
dutchguy2 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Posted February 9, 2013 This is how it should look like in the end,
alligoat Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 That looks pretty nice- TC case? You've also got the insert w/ the boxy 4. Nice patina on the hands and dial. I guess the lugs on the ST 3135 are a little bit chunky, but I love the lugholes in that case. I think your hands look fine, btw.
dutchguy2 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Posted February 10, 2013 Here is mine with the TC case. Indeed, the lugs on the ST case are fat and the same for the crown guards.
dutchguy2 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Posted February 10, 2013 Who to ask to drill lug holes in thw TC case in the EU?

dutchguy2 Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Posted February 15, 2013 A short update on the second build. The SA3135 is a pain in the A$$. The stem broke twice! And the datewheel sucks too. Thans to Domi it is fixed again but I still need an other datewheel. Does any one have a spare one? I bought gen Tritium hands for this build and I shaved the lugs on the ST case to look more gen. Here are some first pics Opinions please :-)) And if anybody has that date wheel pease let me know.
