marrickvilleboy Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Put this little thing together last year and absolutely love it - has been my daily beater for the last 9 months! The genuine dial really adds some character to it and has been keeping very good time! 3
marrickvilleboy Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Posted January 10, 2015 thanks guys Just cartel case - dial fits perfectly. Shaved the crown guards down and replaced crown and tube with Athaya. Its running off a 2783 movement 1
Lolex_panelai Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 very nice! and the insert comes from? i found out that it is quite difficult to find a nice dark blue snowflake inlay. Gesendet von meinem iPad mit Tapatalk
dutchguy2 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Very nice. I am in the process of building one myself. A blue one. Will use Helenarou case for mine. Would like to know where the insert came from, i guess cartel too. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Beachcomber Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 I do appreciate a nice Snowflake and a blue one is even better. Nice. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

marrickvilleboy Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Posted January 11, 2015 suggest you get another set of hands Yuki ones are wrong (too long - look at mine for reference to genuine)

dutchguy2 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Posted January 12, 2015 I have yuki hand set too and yes, they are way to long. I compaired these with gen pictures and I think they are ok. W'll see when this is all mounted in the case (still waiting for it) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
