Chuck P Posted May 21, 2014 Report Posted May 21, 2014 This is my latest creation. Just looking for a better bezel assembly at a reasonable price. 1
Chuck P Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Posted May 21, 2014 Thanks guys. Build specs on this one: PT mid case and DRSD caseback. Softened edges and reworked CG's. I think the crown may be gen 703 but not entirely sure. I mixed my stock of crowns and had trouble telling gen from good aftermarket. Cartel bezel assembly and insert (would love to replace this at some point. It is fully functional as is but I don't like the dull teeth. I think a better bezel would make a huge difference. Aftermarket t-39 slightly shaved on bottom edge side to allow retaining ring to fit. Snug fit though and should be water resistant. Eta 2846 movt Yuki dial for Rolex movt with feet removed. Yuki hour and minute hand. Rep second hand (Yuki second hand is not good in shape) PT bracelet
alligoat Posted May 22, 2014 Report Posted May 22, 2014 I happen to like those specs, mainly because I have a similar watch and think it's a fine rep. PT SD w/ the 2846-2, MBW dial, JMB retention ring, gen crown and tube, GS-T-39 crystal. I did keep the rest of the PT bezel assembly- I'm happy with it. Watch is WR, a great beater for around $400- my kind of rep.
Chuck P Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Posted May 22, 2014 I really like yours alligoat. In hindsight I wish I had kept a PT bezel and had JMB make a retaining ring for it...it had a better profile and teeth.
Boxsash Posted August 8, 2014 Report Posted August 8, 2014 I know I'm a bit late to this thread but just to clarify a pt case will take a gen size dial?
dieselpower Posted August 8, 2014 Report Posted August 8, 2014 1665, is there a better watch? Nope.... I don't think so. Nice piece, wear it well.
