Two Different Takes on the JMB Case-Set

[bobandshawn]

Hey everyone,
Not to make a very long story out of it, I posted this over on RWI so I thought I would share my two last projects here as well. Both of these are based on the famous JMB 1016 case...but obviously not 1016 Explorers. So here is some "inspiration" for you "builders" out there. Both JMB, Gen 2824 ETA, Yuki dial for the SD, Raffles dial for the Oyster P, and Gen crowns...Two Keepers!!!

Lovely just lovely. I'm especially into white dials at the moment so you know which is choose. I wish I had the know how to produce such beautiful work.

Thank you sir! Let me know if you want one and we can discuss price over PM...very reasonable to do these with lots of variety. OR even ask for a DIY step by step and I could help!

Any source for watch parts is always welcome!

Which size the dial should be? (Yuki SD dial is 28mm... correct?)

 

[bobandshawn]

Each one is stated in the sale. I think they range from 27.9 - 28 or so...

BTW - those Space Dweller hands are NOT Yuki. Just happened to have them...Yuki's are for gen.

Nice watches! Those OPs are growing on me- could be a nice beater.

Does anyone make a white vintage OP dial. Yours looks good but I prefer the vintage style dials.

I do too, but couldn't find one that fits available cases...
