Jimbo85281 Posted June 21, 2015 Report Share Posted June 21, 2015 This is a Snowflake budget build that I completed about two weeks ago. It was meant to be a project that could be completed for under $250. Sooo, that meant I was unable to do some of the more detailed things like the engraved caseback, gen spec 580 end links, send out to get case reshaped etc. But I think it looks great for the investment and it accomplishes exactly what I was looking for. The parts are: Case: cartel 5512 Hands: raffles Dial: raffles I haven't aged this one apart from a little bit of hour marker aging which can't really be seen in the pics. I plan on doing the insert sometime soon. But for now, I;m enjoying the new old stock look. Next build will be a Tudor 7922 big crown! I'm excited about that one as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Like it Jimbo and for the price of the build even more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo85281 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Like it Jimbo and for the price of the build even more! Thanks! And now that I think about it, it was probably closer to $215. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelliottz Posted June 22, 2015 Report Share Posted June 22, 2015 Thanks! And now that I think about it, it was probably closer to $215. Fantastic budget build! $215?!? You know what that means, right? You need an Athaya 702 crown and tube. They're only $35, and that will keep you at the $250. The beauty of that crown and tube is the 702 is shorter than a 703. It will help balance out those Cartel crown guards. Once again, beautiful build. Enjoy it! Sent from my Z30 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
