GSmaniac Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 Hi Folks, i love my Daily Beater ! Its a Mixup from several Parts. Case its Euromariner V1 with gen Tube, Crown, Insert and Clarks Crystal. Movement, Dial and Hands come from a PT WM9. Hope you Enjoy the Pics...but consider: i wear it daily, sorry for small Scratches large owing to a very nice Member for his straight assistance "cc" Regardz GSmaniac
alligoat Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 Very nice. Both the pics and the watch. I took one look at the dial and said WM9. But this is a perfect beater in my mind- a great combination of rep and gen parts that you should be proud to wear out in public. And if you scratch it up a little, who cares- you didn't spend $5K on it! Congratulations.
Dizzy Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 Not bad for a "beater" watch! ha ha Pretty damn nice franken if you ask me
GSmaniac Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Posted January 11, 2009 Thx for compliments Next up is building a WM9 based LV Sub.... Regardz GSmaniac
cht Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 wow, looks great! couple questions if I may... did you have to tap the case to accept the gen tube? And, did your gen insert snap in? Did you sand down the gen insert to get it to sit properly? thanks and wear it well!
GSmaniac Posted January 11, 2009 Author Report Posted January 11, 2009 fortunately the tube has fitted without any problems. to ensure it tight i used a very small amount of teflontape. The Insert is slightly milled to sit deeper but it has snapped in perfectly :-)
cht Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 ^^^awesome! You lucked out, because my euro has a different tube where the thread is completely different from a gen or gen style tube. Also, my euro won't except a gen insert at all. It just falls out, it will have to be glued and milled as well. Anyways, yours is awesome! Pics came out great, mind sharing your camera setup?
GSmaniac Posted January 12, 2009 Author Report Posted January 12, 2009 Thx i use a Sony Digicam without Flash. Dont go over 5 Megapixels and use Macro :-) its very hard to find the right angles to avoid Mirroring and Reflections Good Luck GSmaniac ^^^awesome!
