Sogeha Posted August 6, 2018 Report Posted August 6, 2018 Well it is very nice to see you here @lhooq 1
jmb Posted August 6, 2018 Report Posted August 6, 2018 M, you can upload pics to the forum relatively painlessly. Also check with whoever you have your internet service through as often your account will have some web space included. I just got in some more "raw" cases and will start machining tomorrow. This may be my last batch as I really would like to retire, but I've said that before...
lhooq Posted August 6, 2018 Report Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Huh, the drag'n' drop actually works. Well, here are the shots of Build #3, now in a jmb case. Plus a special guest for comparative purposes... Edited August 6, 2018 by lhooq

Lo' Posted August 7, 2018 Report Posted August 7, 2018 Hey there M. Nice to see you in here. #3 looks nice and solid. Would you care to let us have a breakdown of that build? Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk

Mike_G Posted August 8, 2018 Report Posted August 8, 2018 Thanks for the reply. It’s been awhile since I’ve been active can you elaborate on “Mary’s 7836”

It’s been awhile since I’ve been active can you elaborate on “Mary’s 7836” I think she goes by Mary Watch now, but used to be Watch International. She is a TD here. Many of us have bought her 7836 for 1016's. For the money it's hard to beat. I coupled it with 580 endlinks from WSO on my 1016, but I used a gen 16014 case. Not sure if they are the best for a JMB, although I'm sure someone here will know.
jmb Posted August 14, 2018 Report Posted August 14, 2018 I finally got around to building me one a couple weeks ago. I sold my Explorer several years ago intending to build another and kept running out of cases before I built me one. This time I built me one first! Guess it's been 5 years or so since I had one... 1

jmb Posted August 14, 2018 Report Posted August 14, 2018 I wondered who would be the first with that jab! Less than a month and already have a big gouge on the crystal. I'm very hard on watches... No close-ups because y'all will make fun of my lume job.

No close-ups because y'all will make fun of my lume job.That’s a great build you’ve got there J. Lume doesn’t look half bad judging from the pics. I wish I had your knowledge and skills... speaking of which I still remember when I tried to swap hands on my BD 1016 ... what a massacre!! Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk
jmb Posted August 14, 2018 Report Posted August 14, 2018 Lo, thanks, Bro. Yeah, hands can be tricky especially without proper hand-pressers.
Lo' Posted August 14, 2018 Report Posted August 14, 2018 Lo, thanks, Bro. Yeah, hands can be tricky especially without proper hand-pressers.I wouldn’t be able to do a decent job even with the proper tools. Once I tried doing something as simple as fixing a badly glued insert on a rep 6538... ended up messing the whole build and broke both the crystal and the insert. Now it sits in a little box hopefully waiting to be rebuilt... if I will ever be able to source a new crystal and compatible insert that is. 🤣
jmb Posted August 14, 2018 Report Posted August 14, 2018 Crystals and stuff are one of the reasons I hate messing with newer stuff. Just vintage and plexi for me!
Lo' Posted August 14, 2018 Report Posted August 14, 2018 And since I’m here, a quick update on my new build: I have been sending all the parts to SSteel which received it yesterday. I’m waiting for him to start working his magic on that and turn the ugly duckling into a beautiful swan... Crystals and stuff are one of the reasons I hate messing with newer stuff. Just vintage and plexi for me!You’re right J. Wrong word! Plexi, not crystal...Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk

Lo' Posted August 16, 2018 Report Posted August 16, 2018 Cool, when done there must be pics! Will do J. Lots of pics. Can’t wait for that to happen
