Lat night whilst reading Justasgoods post about his gilt dial project i was so impressed with what the sub dial looked like in the perpertual case i decided to make my own.

The only case i had to use was my the first watch i built with my own dial (see signatur below) but was never that happy with it so i took it apart.

So i had:-

1. Chronotac datejust type case

2. A Superluminover sub styled dial with the feet at 3min and 33mm and the hole to small for Eta hands

3. A Gruen watch with a brand new 2824 never worn that i got fo $20 of ebay

4. selection of hands

5. (Edited) forgot to add noobmarind datewheel overlay to get the date to line up hence the spacer for the dial.

but

5. no movement holder

6. no dial feet

7. No idea

and it was 11 pm

At 02:00 i went to bed after baking a dial holder from an asian one, glueing a space to the dial and then dil dotting the dialk to the movement, reaming out the hands hole to fit, after the third attempt to assembel it and finding that the hour wheel was lifting off the drive due the to tight hole. Trimming the stem and getting it all to line up. So here are a few pics, i like it especialy next to my noob1680isnothing. I just wish that the C1 hands matched the C3 dial in day light
