Omega Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 The work I did: - gen insert - gen crown - gen tube - CG's - noob dial - datewheel from the SSD - case completely reworked - polished bezel - polished rehaut - bezel reworked on a lathe to clip a gen insert in - noob caseback - bracelet with hollow midlinks mounted, brushed and polished it - installed swiss ETA 2836-2 with rolex engraving - clasp (from 2 several factorys made 1 perfect) - set movement to +-2 sec/day So what do you think?

Omega Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Oh, I forgot that the bezel is reworked on a lathe to make the gen insert clipping in! Thanks to you all, guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephane Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Can't wait to see it That mvt looks awesome, a very nice addition. What was the start watch ? A last generation MBW ? What bracelet.... We want more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Can't wait to see it Thanks! I am sure you will see it... What was the start watch ? A last generation MBW ? What bracelet.... We want more Take more: The MBW is (according to previous owner) about 4 years old. I really don't know what generation it is, because on the last gen (like Paso's) is the date mag too big. On this one it is correct. So I can't assign it... Bracelet is from silix with hollow midlinks, outer clasp is OK but the inner was incorrect stamped. So I used the inner parts from a clasp that I found in my part-case. Of course with all correct numbers and very clean logo-stamp. At last but no least, what I forgot: The bracelet is also brushed and polished to have a shiny finish like gen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Beautiful watch! Certainly it's an artform- to take these components and meld them into a beautiful presentation- a true franken. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
