Nanuq Posted June 19, 2014 Report Posted June 19, 2014 I guess this means the Big Gonzo will be my last build ever. All hail the Big D!

F.Castro Posted June 19, 2014 Report Posted June 19, 2014 Really great looking, his work will be missed that's for sure Are you just saying this or do you meen it? I have read all your post/topics before and this replay makes me think, wth...
denimhead Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Posted June 20, 2014 Hi castro, as my post states BIg D specialises in re luming dials and hands, not casework With regards to the CG's, having owned Gen 5513's, 5512's and a 1665 over the years they have varied hugely depending on how polished or not polished they've been. The crown is a Gen 704 monoblock, which is the modern service replacement of the steel capped crimped 703 crown. Hope that helps Cheers DH
cc33 Posted June 20, 2014 Report Posted June 20, 2014 Are you just saying this or do you meen it? I have read all your post/topics before and this replay makes me think, wth... I meant it, the insert and overall presentation looks good to me. I may enjoy higher end builds for myself but I can certainly appreciate a build like this.
lionsandtigers Posted June 20, 2014 Report Posted June 20, 2014 congrats. looks pretty good. I have to say though, dump that 704. It does not look right on this build, either get a 703 installed or even better and more accurate a 702 wear it well and enjoy
