GenTLe Posted July 17, 2016 Report Posted July 17, 2016 I've been reading that the latest production runs have been shipping with the hands glued onto the movement! So if you have any plans to use new hands, a dial, or movement, you have to replace all 3! You can't even remove the hands to work on anything even if you plan to keep it all stock. Has anyone else experienced this? Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk Are you referring to the JK Factory (that Ia also on display on other TD sites like Ryan one)? Hope no... I have one incoming and already have a 2846 ready to fit there...
Mendota Explorer Posted July 17, 2016 Report Posted July 17, 2016 Yes, that's the one. A member over on RWI has purchased several recently and all of them have come with the seconds hand glued to the movement, as if they ran out of the correct size hands and just started gluing another on there. He said it is beyond ridiculous and incredibly frustrating because that means if you plan to keep it all stock, any dial or hands work has to take place assembled.

What are the build specs on this gorgeous piece? Dial, hands, insert, pearl? This looks fantastic and is exactly what I would like to build. I was hoping to practice on the 2813 parts but I might have to go with the ETA version if the 2813s are all still coming glued. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

Bart Cordell Posted July 26, 2016 Author Report Posted July 26, 2016 looks like a Yuki buckle to me Bought on eBay from an Indian seller. Don't know if it's accurate but it please me.

Bart Cordell Posted November 17, 2016 Author Report Posted November 17, 2016 I'm tired of over aged insert those days.I feel better with a new Yuki. It's perfect !I still had an Athaya pearl, but I lose it on the carpet while manipulation. It's the first time I loose a part in a year of builds. Arrrgh !And I love those new Yuran straps ordered for my 1675. They add a little touch of fun. 1
Bart Cordell Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Posted May 25, 2017 After so many months and modifications, I was still not satisfied. I made a new dial, matte instead of glossy this time. I like it a lot now. 2
