jackflash Posted January 8, 2019 Author Report Posted January 8, 2019 A nice 9401 is on it's way to me, luckily with a 90° rehaut Nice! What’s the source? Does it have the correct case back too? You could ask [mention=50989]SSTEEL[/mention] for servicing support, he’s based in Finland I believe. 1
DetektivTudor Posted January 8, 2019 Report Posted January 8, 2019 I bought it M2M on RWI. Ssteels reputation is not the best over there, I have Domi around the corner, but he's booked out til the end of days apparently
jackflash Posted January 8, 2019 Author Report Posted January 8, 2019 Good catch! Excellent for a Franken build.

jackflash Posted February 16, 2019 Author Report Posted February 16, 2019 Added an original spec NDC watch strap, as per the MN watches. https://www.silvermans.co.uk/products/marine-nationale-watch-strap?variant=33505519491Another option. Erikas Originals have a derivative design of MN straps too. Slightly misleadingly trademarked as Original MN. https://erikasoriginals.com/mn-straps/original.php
DetektivTudor Posted March 24, 2019 Report Posted March 24, 2019 I was obviously completely wrong with the rehaut:/
jackflash Posted March 24, 2019 Author Report Posted March 24, 2019 I was obviously completely wrong with the rehaut:/The crystal is distorting the Rehaut. It would be worth changing it. I used a GS PA 462-66 from Ofrei. If you go to post #24 in this thread, there’s a link to a side-by-side comparison of a Clark & CWP T19 crystal too. You’ll see what a difference the crystal can make to the look of the Rehaut.

Great thread, thanks for the advice I thought about it, but I'm still not sure about keeping it :/
jackflash Posted May 5, 2019 Author Report Posted May 5, 2019 Decided to tweak the build for an MN look.Vietnamese dial off eBay. WSO handset. Yuki insert and Adrian pearl.
rogerdude Posted May 18, 2019 Report Posted May 18, 2019 Thanks for the info on the crystals. I could have used that for my build!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
jackflash Posted May 19, 2019 Author Report Posted May 19, 2019 Small update. Decided to add a Phong insert after aging it subtly.May look into getting an MN date code engraved on the case back next.
hologramet Posted May 22, 2019 Report Posted May 22, 2019 Really nice overall patina. You're a master at 70's Subs! 1
