jackflash Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Just finished. Probably the easiest build I have done: JMB case set ETA 2824-2 Yuki dial, lightly sprayed with matt varnish Raffles Time ETA hand set Phoenix NATO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselpower Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 That's what reps are all about. Simple, quick, easy to put together, reasonably priced with great results. Now, where's that V72? I think I'll just throw a PN daytona together before dinner! Nice watch jackflash wear it well and in good health 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflash Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Cheers. Contemplating going for a Clark T21 crystal with a new JMB bezel in the appropriate size for a more vintage look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star69 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 is thee any other option for the dial ? (Yuki is not shipping to Germany) fantastic watch btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle1 Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Wish I had the skill. Need some practice but setting the hands is where I generally fail, if I haven't fudged up the keyless first! Great watch, I definitely need one of these or a spacedweller (same thing ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuki will ship to Germany. For the price, it's the best value dial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great watch, I definitely need one of these or a spacedweller (same thing ) JMB's case set is pretty much plug-in-and-play. A great starter project.

jmb Posted November 21, 2014 Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Frazzle - If you use an ETA (or clone) the keyless is pretty forgiving and installing hands is pretty easy if you have some hand-pressers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Very keen on doing this project. Will invest in some hand pressers before hand though. The set I got with my cheap tool kit weren't that good last time. Can anyone advise on a set available in the UK? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle1 Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Also with the Yuki dial he seems to only do them with feet to fit 1560 and above movements. Any advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any adviceClip the feet and use dial dots to hold the dial in place. That's what I did:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
