Nanuq Posted June 28, 2014 Author Report Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendota Explorer Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted June 29, 2014 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ww12345 Posted June 29, 2014 Report Share Posted June 29, 2014 Bummer. I think there's a few people here itching for a 7206. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted August 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Another shot of the Big Gonzo, with a little more aging. I think it's about in the ballpark now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
