dluddy Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 Finally, another one done. This one took a while to get to but I just got it back from Rob and the results are fantastic. It started life as a 2836 based model from Eddie. Ziggy just completed the following work on it: -Swap in new 2893-2 ETA movement -DSN hands -Superlume dial -Lello Datewheel -OEM Crown Here are the pics mounted on my new custom Metta Catharina strap with a sewn in Strapmasters Torpedo buckle. The smell and hsitory of this leather have been discussed at length but.....wow
RWG Technical Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 Looks great, I love that strap. Wear it well. RG
dluddy Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Posted January 22, 2008 Show us a lume shot! I suck at Lume shots but here are my feeble attempts - the first shot shows off the Lello datewheel better than lume :
HauteHippie Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 Wow, fantastic!!! Didn't know Davidsen offered hands for this one. Great strap!
dadog13 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 Wow, fantastic!!! Didn't know Davidsen offered hands for this one. Great strap! neither did I...this is getting interesting... maybe Z can share more info about how difficult was to make this project come true... would it be possible to use the whole DSN 063 and just perform the mvt swap? BTW...you have a beauty there...wear it well!
dluddy Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Posted January 22, 2008 Davidsen does carry the hands in both sizes - for the 2836 and the 1.8M GMT hand for the 2893. I think Ziggy has already posted that the movement swap was straightforward.
cc Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 very nice D!! i also have a The Zigmeisterfied 063 that was finished late summer. isnt his work incredible??!! i have to post a review of mine too. cc

I think The Zigmeister has already posted that the movement swap was straightforward. so he does have the hands... what about DSN dial...would it fit the 2893 movement? and I have to compare the two dials...the one that came with the rep 2893 and the DSN one...to see in case it matches the 2893 mvt...if it is a good one to put in the project watch... thanks again
jake48 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 dluddy - Nice watch. I have been inspired by all the nice 063's & 029's to take on a 063 project of my own. I have a question though- I noticed your GMT hand and your seconds hand looks steel in color. I have seen pictures of Gens wiht both a steel look and a black look to the GMT & seconds hand. The watch I have has a blued GMT and seconds hand. What is the color on the GMT & seconds hand to a Gen? Is there more than one version of Gen 063 out there? Thanks, jake
dluddy Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Posted January 22, 2008 GMT hand is matte black so it is the lighting - Sweeping Seconds hand is polished silver as is genuine

Thanks, jake I thought that might be the case - Here is a good example of the same Gen different lighting -different color to second hand:
fishgodeep Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 Oh I like that a lot .....the details really matter ......great piece D.....great work Z ....:-) FGD
Watchmeister Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 D- Your 63 is looking really good. Enjoy that baby. With a Ziggy relume and 2893 movement that watch is a keeper. By the way, for whoever asked about the hands they should all be black (except the center second hand which is silver).
lanikai Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 Very handsome looking piece of art DL... live strong and wear that beauty well..
confused69u Posted January 23, 2008 Report Posted January 23, 2008 Just wondering The Zigmeister, where abouts in Canada are you located?
tmg Posted January 26, 2008 Report Posted January 26, 2008 Very nice Dluddy. Great Strapmaster choice too!
tykel Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 Great looking watch...well put together. If you have a chance could I get a PM on the sources you used for your parts. I would really like to have this put together as well. Thanks a million... T
Guest shura110 Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 If I have a DSN 063 with 2836 and want to swap to 2893 all I need a new GMT hand or all hands need to be changed?
nelly Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 So what is the difference between the 2893-2 and the 2836 in it's GMT guise? Does the GMT hand behave differently between the two movements ? I have read vague comments about the 2893-2 movement jumping the GMT hand in hour increments when setting or when running but could never find anything definitive. Come on you WIS.....
nelly Posted March 5, 2008 Report Posted March 5, 2008 On the second hands question that has been posed in previous posts, I have seen pcitures of a used Pam063s up for sale that had a matt black seconds hand (and no it was not the lighting) as well as the ones on Paneristi that shows it with a steel one. So unless the ones on Paneriti are pre-release shots of some kind it appears that there were two different variations released.
