They all load fine for me.

Excellent work with this!  I love it.  Very nice build.  Do you have any plans to replace the crown with a gen or Athaya?

Hi, Thank You. Unfortunately not! I have this watch built for joyful and he wanted to have the price as low as possible! So I have the existing crown reworked!

Great piece buddy, the DRSD is not my cup of tea but the cartel cases have become a great base!

 

Cheers

Very nice!! Lots of work, and it shows. He has a good wearer, and the nice thing, the modding on these can be incremental. Wear it as is, and later if he wants, a gen or athyea crown, better dial/hands and next thing you know he has one that is right up there !!
