rolojack Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Now... This one was something !!! And the result is worth every drop of sweat !!!! The case polishing was redone twice untill I could achieve the crisp edges I was after to match the great Phong bezel featuring a too nice finish to be repolished "aged" style. So: aim was NOS condition ! No the easiest aim... Mid case and case back are cartel. the caseback was shaved to achieve the super low dome shape of the genuine watch -cartel original shape it much too thick- and the mid case was considerably modified on the CG side. Dial was an adventure too: custom made on a ETA plate. Over 6 month of waiting... Anyways :no glued on dial !!!! Super sharp fit with a date that snaps at midnight and will never get caught rubbing the dial. Lume was done as thin as possible to accomodate the hands stack: Needles are straight. Not bent up to accomodate the lume... In short: it's as perfect as can be using a ETA machine. Genuine crystal, cartel hands (from an other model. The ugly oversized case one... purchased for the hands only!) Enjoy the pictures !!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricompx Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Awesome built. I would love to have the same project. How much did spent for this built? I understand that you'd spent enormous amount of time sourcing the right parts but it will save you a lot when using an eta and cartel cases.
