1675 PCG/Gilt dial build

[projectologist]

I just received this build this morning from Yodog.  

 

His work and eye for the vintage/nos "looK" is over the top.

 

More pics to follow once I decided on strap or bracelet.

Congrats man, that is a beautiful watch. The gilt dial without chapter ring is quite a cool look.

• Vietnam Gilded dial (Yodog applied lume)

• Gen insert

• Gen 25-116 plexi

• Gen 5.3mm crown

• A2836 gmt movement

• Hands... not certain but probably a mix of Raffles and other similar

Is Yodog CONUS based? If you send him some or all of the parts will he work with them or does he source everything himself?

He's in Los Angeles.  He'll work any way you want.  Send parts, send a whole watch for upgrades or buy a finished watch.  Great communicator returning almost all emails within 10-15 minutes.  Sends progress pics and great for sourcing parts.  He sources the same Vietnam cases MQ does but charges 40% less.  Also, does the best lume application I've ever experienced among modders.

Great build, but I personally found the lume now a bit too raised. I have seen the gen and its is a bit more flatter.

The lume is flat on mine as is typical for a 1675 Type C gilt dial.

THANK YOU!! That's awesome. I'm getting closer to starting my grail 5510 project and I'm going to reach out to him about it. I'm also thinking about working with him for one of his 6542 builds and helping me upgrade and improve my red 1680.

Trying out some leather today from B&S... very comfortable right out of the box.

A little gen plexi love...

Finally sourced a bracelet for this build... they're getting harder to find in this condition.  I looked for a big crown version, but finding one this nice would have been twice the price.
