Aero_Dave Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Yes folks, my new Monte Carlo 7032 is finally complete. I spent a lot of time sourcing parts from all around the world. The heart of my beauty is a 70's Heuer 7734' but it had a 30 minute chrono. So I had to source the 3 parts needed to convert it to a 45 minute chrono. Not an easy task finding them that's for sure. After I finally got all of the parts I needed, off to Doctor Frankenstein, a.k.a.Mike (MD2020) for the build. Mike took the movement completely apart, cleaned it so good, it looked brand new again. Then using all of the parts I supplied, the build began. Mike even did an Awesome job on a vintage lume on the hands and dial. So here are a couple of quick pics of my new baby. I also had some additional work done by Mike on another watch, but I'll post that another day. Thanks Mike, your work is Outstanding. Dave...

SSTEEL Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Love this model Rolex, and its a shame theres no auto model available. Hate quartz personally, but who knows, I may get the q model anyway as I love the design of the dial on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case it is a beautiful build. Wear it well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraggle42 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Lovely watch. Is it the photos or is the cyclops / crystal installed a couple of degrees rotated anti-clockwise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero_Dave Posted June 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Lovely watch. Is it the photos or is the cyclops / crystal installed a couple of degrees rotated anti-clockwise? I think it's the angle of the picture. Thanks for the Congrats. I think this be on my wrist for quite-while. So I will apologize if my wristies will all be the same for the few weeks. : Dave...
