richard lawton Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Hi All Just had a first attempt at a T3 my favourite watch (Having 8.5 inch wrist) Almost the right size 58mm with seconds at 12.00 and almost correct hands !!! Just wish I could find a titanium case (this one is stainless steel) but quite pleased with the results. Thanks for looking Richard Lawton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 The watch looks great....I honestly can't figure out what was the mod done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard lawton Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Hi Samurai Well the existing sec@12 model T3 is only 53mm case size is far to small should be 57.5mm, the hands are wrong, and the screws that hold the crown guards are not cross heads. I have used 3 different watches to make this plus a strap from AP Bands, and a hugh amount of mods to make the movement fit into the larger case. This is now the closest T3 to the original (Photo comparison attached) Hope this explains the mods Best Regards Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Wow....that's a whole lot of mods done...especially with the case. Can you share some more details on how did you manage to do these mods. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faber Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 thats huge...i would really love one of it....but maybe my wrist is too skinny for it....58 mm is way much more that average 47mm that i wear... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
