Just another LV build...

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!!!!!

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.  Here are some pics:

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 :)
