bruce79 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 This 004b has just sort of come together for me over the last few weeks. There are no real mods to speak of as of yet but they will come. It's an old River PVD case with a 111g dial installed with an ETA 6497 movement. It's got the solid case back with what I believe to be the correct markings but the experts will have to chime in. The dial is a L SWISS L and from what I've read this dial is correct for some of the 004s. I rubbed the case down with a cape cod the other day so it's a bit glossy but that's fine for me. The gens are probably more matte. At any rate, have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta8088 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Looks good to me. I've got some parts sitting around maybe I'll build one of these too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepshow Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 The caseback isn't *quite* correct. That's a 001B caseback. The good news is that both the 001 and the 004 were made in batches of 3000 that year. The bad news is that the OP number should be 6519 for the 004B, not 6518 (that's correct for the 001, though). All in all, it's the most accurate case back you'll find for this watch, AFAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
