The markers are still on the way of the minute hand : thumbdown:

Any help will be appreciated.

that looks great, is that a gen dial? people are less likely to call you out on vintages than new ones, i bet. and i love that acrylic crystal. nice watch!

I've built two of almost the same watch, a 16014, ss w/ wg fluted bezel and a 16013, tt w/ gold fluted bezel. Gen dials, 2836 movt, luenfat datewheel overlay, tudor hands. My watchmaker put them both together w/ a ring spacer to hold the movt in place. He didn't have to change out the cannon pinion or anything, so did he slightly angle the minute hand and second hand up? Anyway, both watches are working flawlessly and have for over a month. I even dropped the 16014 on the floor of the Salt Lake City airport, I couldn't get thru their sensitive metal detectors, and had to take it off. Ironically, a crack in the plastic crystal showed up three weeks later. Got a replacement from Clark Watch Supply. They're not cheap, but these Frankenjusts are nice watches.

I have a 16030 with a mother of pearl dial. It is one of 2 goto watches for daily wear at work.

Yours is a beauty, the vintage vibe from these watches is cool. Your local AR probebly couldn't tell it's a frankengen.
