Nice dial !

Do you still want one from me ? emoji6.png

Hahaha, thanks mate! Note so much that I intend to use it right now, to be honest I'm curious to see the results irl.

I'll most likely pass it on to a member in need when I'm done studying it..

Ok... So a bit of updates.

I decided to go for a Yuki fat font and a correctly lumed pearl with matching tone by the Big D. I also received the TC16613 hands and he relumed also them to match the tone/patina of the vietnam dials guy.

The parts are now in the hands of mr Jack lé Rolooo.

And I've always loved mesh bracelets. Ever since I saw a Seamaster on ém as a boy. I know it is not usual in the Rolex department. Well I dont like rattly bracelets or light for that matter (cough that leaves all but the Sub-C ones) so I would have been forced either to redo a Sub-C into an end link-friendly creation of evil. Or ventured into the incorrect rep bracelets and try to fit a SubC-clasp on it. And then, the authenticity still is qustionable and not looked well upon.

So I though, eff it. I present to you... Ratchet buckle, we like, no logo, we like, and should fit 2.0 mm springsbars with a tight fit (for a less rattly feeling)

Don't know, whatever it may be... use the tube supplied from Athaya with the crown you decide to use.

You can put a 700, 702 or a 703 crown and tube assembly in the cartel subs- just remove the old tube, re-tap the hole and install the new tube.

I've gotten better, bye bye hospital (well st least as a patient). Weird experience being the one to be taken care of, when I'm used to being in the other end.

Thanks for all the comments. I've been through hell and back.
