Nanuq Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 Finally I have this finished. It finally looks like it's really 55 years old. 1
cc33 Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 What an amazing shot, It certainly does look the part. Magnifique!
droptopman Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 Wholly smokes. That is absolutely beautiful. Sent from my droptop using telepathy.
rower Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 That is absolutely incredible! What an amazing adventure.
Nanuq Posted June 28, 2014 Author Report Posted June 28, 2014 Ww, that's a Minh bracelet with a whole lotta elbow grease. Ronin, those are scratches from coral in Hawaii, mostly polished out now (shirt sleeve technique). Thanks gents!
Mendota Explorer Posted June 28, 2014 Report Posted June 28, 2014 What kind of work did you have to do to the Minh bracelet? After you did all of it, is it acceptable compared to the Yuki?
Nanuq Posted June 29, 2014 Author Report Posted June 29, 2014 I did a review of the Minh band about a year ago. It was a disaster out of the box but I was able to make it work. Definitely not recommended unless you HAVE to have a rivet 7206. Yuki's is far better.
ww12345 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 Bummer. I think there's a few people here itching for a 7206.
Nanuq Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Posted August 29, 2014 Another shot of the Big Gonzo, with a little more aging. I think it's about in the ballpark now.
Nanuq Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Posted August 29, 2014 Yes, tinted by Ivan and aged by an unnamed genius.
dbane883 Posted August 29, 2014 Report Posted August 29, 2014 I didn't think MY sold 6538 hands for eta. Are they modified?
Ezio Posted August 29, 2014 Report Posted August 29, 2014 Nanuq jeez are you ever done with The gonzo haha ?? You know you just need to send it to me i pay you some kids if you want In my eyes its The ultimate rep ever build you and cc33 know how to build Them haha
Nanuq Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Posted August 29, 2014 I didn't think MY sold 6538 hands for eta. Are they modified? They're 1030 hands, broached for the 2846. Don't ask me about the problems with the hours hand and its seat.
nick1972 Posted August 29, 2014 Report Posted August 29, 2014 Great build, I thought the first picture was gen.
FROGMAN Posted August 31, 2014 Report Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Alright, nanuq you did a fantastic job with this one. Absolutely amazing! The finishing is so well done. Edited August 31, 2014 by FROGMAN 1
Nanuq Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Posted September 2, 2014 Great build, I thought the first picture was gen. Wow that's a huge compliment coming from you. Thank you! Nanuq jeez are you ever done with The gonzo haha ?? You know you just need to send it to me i pay you some kids if you want In my eyes its The ultimate rep ever build you and cc33 know how to build Them haha That means a lot Ezio, thank you. But I can't take any credit for this build, it's a long long way from what I first put together, to the final piece. Cc33 was the one that guided me from sow's ear to silk purse. HE is the King of Big Crowns around here.
Nanuq Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Posted February 11, 2015 Just back from a trip to MyManMatt, who fixed a couple of problems for me. Thanks Matt!
Mendota Explorer Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 Frakk me, that is the money shot right there. Wow!
Nightwatch Posted February 11, 2015 Report Posted February 11, 2015 This ......... is a thing of beauty. Congrats Nanuq
