whereisbrothersterling Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Hey guys. I don't know if any of you have read any of my introduction thread but I have gen watches but love to tinker and I respect both sides of the rep/gen world and enjoy reading your input and looking at your projects. Ok mini introduction done, I have a 16000 case set and many gen dials and bezels, hands, Crowns, tubes, crystals, that will fit it. I am short a gen movement to make it a watch in my rotation. I was stupid enough to buy Yuki clone movement just to have it break in just two weeks. (never worked right from the start) Now I have a broken Yuki movement (in Pieces because I was determined to see what was wrong with it, I don't care about the money I wasted I am just glad I am done with that junk) I have a domed plastic crystal in my parts that fits this case very good and tight. I think it is a tropic 21 but I don't know since I have many crystals mixed up. sitting down with my mountain of parts makes me want to attempt some kind of a 1016 build. I have a messed up old YUKI 1016 dial that I used to see if it would fit so I could order another and try and put something together. It is a tad big to fit the case. So close though that I think I could shave one of their dials to fit the case. I know you guys know your Shi* and before I go ordering parts to only fail I thought I would upgrade my membership start contributing to the forum and ask for your help. Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated, Also one last though, Should I sell the case and move on after the Yuki movement failure. Its like being slapped by someone with a long reach. I have enjoyed playing with the parts they offer for years and have never had any problems, Now the movement fails at almost $300 and what can you do but get [censored] and give up. Thanks guys, BrotherSterling I have all my parts at work so I will post up some pics on Monday, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whereisbrothersterling Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Ok guys I am an impatient spoiled bastard and just ordered another Yuki clone. We will see what happens this time. Atleast I will have a pile of parts to send someone if I need to get this one fixed, Wish me luck. When the yuki stops working who should I send it to??

ghost Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Too much bling for me. Why not stick with the explorer plan? I built a 1016 w a gen dial and gen 1570 movement in my 16014 case. Then again, when i say "i built", what i actually mean, i amassed the parts and sent it to a proper watchsmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
