alligoat Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I think those Sean cases run around $600. But they're made for a gen movement (or Yuki/PT). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911flyer Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Indeed! Sent from my sub using helium Yuki is hard to find. Lol! Want to sell that piece? Sent from my sub using helium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netniet Posted February 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I did spend $550 on the Sean midcase, it was not cheap, but it is money well spend. In the end this became the most expensive watch since I started this addictive hobby. I wanted to add a gen bracelet to it, but I decided to wear it with a Nato strap for now, until I had the funds to buy one. But that is put on hold because I stumbled upon my next Franken project here, I found a very nice Yuki 5513 case, gen 5513 dial and insert here in the M2M sales. So the cash for the bracelet is going into this project. The hunt is on for a gen movement, retainer ring, bezel and T19 superdome crystal. Selling it? Nope, I want to enjoy wearing it for a while.

preacher62 Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Now I understand...this is why we never finish one.........the other project calls to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superlative Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I like it, but the strap has go to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Certainly a TC bracelet would be a good choice- great for everyday wear and it beats tearing up a gen bracelet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have one extra if you are interested. Bought as a v3 but have never mounted it. Has no clasp...lol Sent from my sub using Helium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marrickvilleboy Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 This would have been a pretty expensive project - I think it looks great nonetheless. But here's my guestimate: Sean Case: $550 Yuki movement: $450 Genuine dial & hands: $400-500 Gen crown and tube: $80 Gen bezel: $300 Gen Crystal: $200 so around ~$2K, am i close?

I invested a bit more, but you are close. It was not cheap, but every time I bought one of these parts it gave me a kick, and I knew I got closer to the watch I wanted to build and wear. And as an added bonus, I have meet some great fellow watch addicts along this journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
