omgiv Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hey guys, I was trying to wait until i had everything in hand before I started this build but I am still waiting on a few parts and just can't wait any longer . I had planned on building a LV Submariner one day but it was further down the list. I happened upon a great deal for a dial and hands that made the build jump to the front. This one was inspired by some of the great builds on this and other boards and I hope to live up to that standard. Anyway, I started putting some of the things that I had for the project. Here are some pics: I'll keep updating the thread as parts come in. I am hoping to have this one done in a few weeks. Thanks for looking!!!!!

omgiv Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I got my Sean case back a couple of weeks ago after being refinished (by Phong) and it turned out really well. I was pleased with it and started my build but didn't like the gap in the SEL when I added the gen bracelet to the case. I tried getting a couple of TC bracelets to fit but they needed a good bit of work to fit properly and I just didn't feel like doing it. So, I decided not to use the Sean case. I had a TC case in my drawer that married up well with the TC bracelet end links, so that is the way I went. I figured you guys would want to see how it turned out after being refinished though.

omgiv Posted July 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I also finally got around to taking some halfway decent pictures of the build so here they are: Here is the build list if anyone is curious: Midcase: TC Caseback: Preik Display Back Bezel Assembly: Genuine Crystal: Genuine Non-Service Tube: Genuine Crown: Genuine 704 Monobloc Movement: Genuine 3135 Dial and Hands: Genuine Insert: Genuine Bracelet: Hybrid (TC V3 endlinks and main link with genuine 93250 clasp and diver's extension) Before anyone says that I could almost buy a genuine for the parts I used or it was a waste, let me say that I am in it or the build. I like the hunt for parts and really enjoy how well genuine parts are finished and work well together. Anyway, thanks for looking. I can finally scratch this one off of the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
