dieselpower Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Super watch and outstanding work. One of the few 'modern' Rolexes that I would wear with pride. Enjoy, after all the work and $ you must have put in to acquiring the parts you deserve the joy it must now be bringing you. Well done.

bertieng Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Congrat kikom. Fantastic piece of art. Just a side question, do you need to trim the inner rim of the gen. bezel to fit onto the case kit? Still, a super watch, wish I have the money to build one.

bertieng Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 nope... MBW case kit... I bought it used from ebay awhile back Do you know what work has been on the hands? My undertanding is that the gen. hands don't fit on the Zenith movement pinions. Any issue on the tube of the big second hand being too short for attaching to the chronograph wheel pinion? It would be great if you can share with us this successful story. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
