rosnik Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hi RWG guys. On the first I want to get my particular thank you to: Stilty : for the infinite patience he showed me answering my questions and for the kind support he get me. Genzo: for the help he get me finding parts and support. My German watchmaker: For the great job done for me. The FACT: some time ago I bought one 16200 case complete and so started my Frankenstein project, then I find on my workbench one rest 12892 Eta from MIDO ( same 3135 caliber, no spacer needed ) , so I bought the remaining parts and sent all the parts to my GREAT watchmaker in Germany. I chose to fit 'light bezel' to get this DJ quite light; due to the heavy presence of the diamonds on the dial. The watchmaker get one great work guys! To not lose GEN dial feet, and to hold the dial, he get two holes on the 12892 movement , to accept GEN dial. The Datejust: Gen Case Gen Cristal Gen Tube and Crown Gen Case back Gen Dial Gen light bezel Gen date wheel Gen Bracelet and clasp Clark hands Mido 12892 Movement The dial feet holes on the movement; nota the perfect caliber for DJ. The dial: dateW. other view: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
