vlydog Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I have so many members to thank for this great white project and my appreciation is heart-felt; believe me. Just another example of RWG at its best. The original watch was a MBW purchased from deltatahoe. The modifications, part swapping, and vintage lume were all masterfully orchestrated by our friend Ziggy. Some of the Gen parts were given to me by ubiquitous and Raijor. Countless e-mails for suggestions and advice were unselfishly given by Stephane, mezzanine, Tribal, Avitt, Eunomians, Stilty, freddy333, Cats, Bazz, rolli, Martyd3, L-dizzle, cigurgman, Jetsons, Pix, toomuchgear, and Repaustria. Thanks to all of you. Now the pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoJo35 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Vlydog, This watch is truly a beauty. The polish looks extraordinarily bright, and I'm being 100% honest in saying I thought it was a gen when I saw it from across the table. Enjoy, and wear in good health!
