dutchguy2 Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 The build has started. I am building two 1675's, one for myself and one for DocThor. Ingredients are: Cartel 1655 case with low beat DG movement Clark bezel assembly Ingod44 dial Gen 116 plexi RafflesTime hand set Don't know about the crown and tube, wait to see how the rep is. The dial just arrived Since I am a lumatic I think I will relume it to a nice ivory vintage color what will glw during night. But I am not sure about this. What do you think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchguy2 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 I will take the second from the left. They all will become a bit darker when mixed with binder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchguy2 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 The case modding starts. First the rough outline of material that has to go. After one hour with the Dremel the first result. Still in unpolished shape. What do you guy's think? Am I getting the shape of a 1675? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchguy2 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Got a problem, on both movements the pin on witch you put the seconds hand on broke as soon I touched it.This makes the movements worthless. Had to order two new ones from Ken. This will slowdown the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
