alligoat Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Cool! nice set of parts- which end links did you get from WSO? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 I bought both the 455b and 580 endlinks from WSO. I'm sending both to see which pair will fit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue. Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 VERY nice ingredients,Tom. Looking forward to the final result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogladio Posted March 19, 2014 Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 Looks like you have all the right ingredients there. Nice touch with the gen tropic! Will you be reluming/aging the dial or are you going for a "fresh from the factory" look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 The dial doesn't come lumed from Whoopy, so it will be lumed with an 'aged' look. Hands will be redone to match as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomhorn Posted March 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2014 It's a victim of my 2846 which is with the missing modder ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droptopman Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Can't wait to see it. Always loved the simplistic dial on the Explorer. More time I spend here the more I appreciate vintage pieces, especially with no date and domed crystals.
