projectologist Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Got a chance to check this one out for a couple of days. I gave the case set and cg a near complete re-finish (out of respect to the original little dings and scratches, I didn't remove all of them... after all, it's a 15 year-old OEM case set that's earned it's wear). This build qualifies as a definite uber franken... • Early series OEM case set, crown and cg • OEM 03 T-dial, relumed DSN hands to match Tritium lume plots • Jakob Pre-A 03 case back • Decorated Swiss 6497-1 movement • Dirk strap The xtal is showing it's age as well...

projectologist Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Thanks guys! Here's the Dirk strap I have on it. Buckle is showing some nice patina since it's from the same period as the dial and case set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
