cyphion Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) So after seeing all these awesome GMTs that RA has built, I decided to have one commissioned for myself. Not all that complicated on the sourcing end, just a watch and bezel assembly. RA sourced me the jubilee, as well as changed the crystal. Overall, RA is great to work with, and the fact that he can get these results from a Josh 1675 are nothing short of awesome. So here are the pictures:) If you like vintage GMTs, then RA is your guy.

Gngn Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Great one, also regarding the dial and vintage lume! Are the Yuki dials back, or is this an NDT or something else? Greetings from the 1675 RA fan corner - some pics bleow to bridge the wait time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyphion Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 @GngnThe dial is actually the one that came with the Josh 1675. Its amazing what it looks like now compared to before. RA has been an absolute pleasure to work with, and this will definitely not be my last build with him. If you have a PCG, you also need to have a Square guard too.

Gngn Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Interesting info, saves a lot of effort and $$$ - as the previous RA versions, based on the Vintage Explorer, meant up to $300 for the dial plus extra reluming work (= more $$$$). @Gngn The dial is actually the one that came with the Josh 1675. Its amazing what it looks like now compared to before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
