djulink Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hi Gents,As some of you may know, After getting a Big Daz 4 liner last summer, I've decided to transform the Tiger-Concept V3 case I've been modding.The ingredients :- a Clark's hand set,- a 6200 dial from HR- A seagull ST2130 (even if I know that a 28800 mvt is anachronic...)I still have to put the watch together but it looks good so far, at least imo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marrickvilleboy Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 looks good but why not stick a slow beat asian movement in it? it'll be the same specs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djulink Posted October 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Mainly because the Clark's handset is made for 2824/2836 and I don't have another mvt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kime Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I like a good hands on build... Do you have any plans for ageing the parts? Dial, bezel, case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marrickvilleboy Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Mainly because the Clark's handset is made for 2824/2836 and I don't have another mvt. ah sorry, I misread. I thought I saw 2813.Try a 2846 which should fit the dial. If dial has no feet, then you can also try 2783 too, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Looks good so far & I agree about the (slower-beat) 2846 & aging. Frankens are always a choice of compromises vs accuracy. That is, how far can you limit the build budget without veering too far away from the core feel of the original? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djulink Posted October 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I like a good hands on build... Do you have any plans for ageing the parts? Dial, bezel, case?Not at the moment, but I have in mind your HF post. What could be "simply" done because I don't have the tools you were using ? I don't plan to age the case or the bezel but dial and hands...ah sorry, I misread. I thought I saw 2813.Try a 2846 which should fit the dial. If dial has no feet, then you can also try 2783 too,The dial (filed down to 28mm) is with feet, but I'm having a hard time to find a 2846 mvt; would you have a provider in mind ?Looks good so far & I agree about the (slower-beat) 2846 & aging. Frankens are always a choice of compromises vs accuracy. That is, how far can you limit the build budget without veering too far away from the core feel of the original?Thanks for your comment, and I agree with you about compromises vs accuracy... Here is a quick dial/hands shot (without mvt): a bit "white" at the moment... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
