madasboot Posted July 20, 2006 Author Report Posted July 20, 2006 And then I will ask Finepics for a nice Plexi Crystal as soon as I get my 3646 back from him. Please Mark I am missing it badly! M.
leitztozeiss Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 Nice work!! May we see a reference image of the particular watch you are building? Thanks!!
premiumdesigners Posted July 20, 2006 Report Posted July 20, 2006 hey mad, is that a 127 case? I have the 127 case and bought davidsens MM dial and it didnt fit, too small, the dial would not sit right and sit on the glass. once the movement was screwed on, it looked better, but wasnt right. the dial is about a 1mm too small, doesnt sit right. This was my experience.

This was my experience. Hi Prem, Mine is a RXW case and it fits very well. My only problem will be installing the cortebert mvmt... The dial fits the mvmt but I will need a spacer ring to fit both to the case. Maybe Finepics can help me with that since he had the same problem with the cortebert mvmt I sold him 3 weeks ago. M.

Cucumber_Jones Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Engraving looks great - no you dont need to worry about getting a new CG.
dadog13 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 lovely project...keep us updated...i am jealous too...you'll have a beauty at the end of a project!
madasboot Posted July 21, 2006 Author Report Posted July 21, 2006 who or how did the brev ital engraving get on there? Paid for it to a seasoned engraver. Expensive but very delicate work. M. Engraving looks great - no you dont need to worry about getting a new CG.
dadog13 Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Paid for it to a seasoned engraver. Expensive but very delicate work. M. what does it mean expensive...50$...100$? I never tought it would cost more than 10$....
madasboot Posted July 21, 2006 Author Report Posted July 21, 2006 I never tought it would cost more than 10$.... 30 euro
ehtolcad Posted July 22, 2006 Report Posted July 22, 2006 30 seems like an absolute STEAL to me. i spoke with 2 local engravers and they wanted much much more than that and couldn't make any promises about the end result. i'm really digging this project, keep up the good work

It takes a lot of patience and a lot of time!!! I had to talk with 5 professionals before I found this guy. M. Edited July 22, 2006 by madasboot

madasboot Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Posted July 22, 2006 BTW I will be glad to help if somebody wants to mod a CG. The engraver has archived the engraving registry (modelo) so it will be easy engrave more CGs. I´ll be out on holidays during August but I will be able to help early September. Cheers, M.
