the playful eyes Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 (edited) Just got the watch back not too long ago and it looks wonderful. I had my hesitation at first knowing I was sending something of value to a complete stranger whom I might never hear from again, but all fear and reservation bleed away like paint on a wet canvas when I saw the wonderful job he did to my watch on its return. The good ol' chap from the north surely has earned a stone engraved place in my book when it comes to watches, so without further ado......... Here's my 'ziggified' watch! Info on this project: It was a fun project and took awhile to get the parts I wanted. My initial idea was to purchase a moon watch on eBay and have it be sent to Zig for work, but after having won the dial on eBay for a really good price totally placed me in the 'Gotta catch'em all' Pokemon mode where I would browse the bay for parts to buy. In the end, the watch cost more than what I would have gotten it for if i were to buy it on eBay as a whole.

RWG Technical Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Thanks for the kind words. Amazing watch, the movement alone is simply beautiful under that caseback, and the quality of the dial and hands was great. Glad you like the results, this is my favorite model of all times, now I have to get one for myself. Wear it well... RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the playful eyes Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 That's the price you gotta pay for gen parts if you want to play. You can try eBay for a pre-owned case, I've seen a couple in the past. Take care friend and good luck on your hunt! Whoa.. $586 for a back case..

docblackrock Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Whoa.. $586 for a back case.. Anyone selling replica back cases and dome sapphires ? Actually that price is for an entire case, bezel assembly, caseback and crystal. Very reasonable IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Looks really good. Wear it well. You may have paid more than the gen but I will bet you had a lot of fun along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
