Dlf Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 I had a DSN 52mm egi and loved the way it looked, the proportions are great, it's just the entire watch was generally too big for my wrist.\ So I took a stock 47mm and converted it to a more gen like appearance . Bezel rounded/ markers rounded / polished Smaller crown guard Case reshaped heavily to fit cg Custom dial/ redrilled dial dots bigger Plated hands silver to match case Bigger secs hand Gunny MI3 strap/ if you've never had a gunny you are missing out. Few pics of mods and final watch. Stock and finished\\\\\\} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B3nj4min3 Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Outstanding work there and a fantastic looking watch! It does look like the case re-shaping was a lot of work but the results have definitely been worth it! Wear in good health my friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 @Dlf: you can't receive pm right now, so trying to write here Hi mate. I have seen your work over the 47mm Egi and I have been really impressed. Recently I got a nice Molnija 3601 and I was thinking to build something around it. I am still deciding between a B-Uhr pilot or a mini Egi. Both have pro&cons: an Egi build would be more challenging and the parts probably more difficult to find, but I like it more... May I ask you where did you managed to find a 47mm Egi stock with the correct dial? I couldn't find in any of our TDs (and I don't want to use a 54mm one, way to big...). And did it come with an Asian 6487 or with some other movement? Also, is it a glass case back? Thanks for now, Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
