Now :rolleyes:

i have got this piece in a trade with Dani (thx again bro) watch came with the Leelo DW installed and a Swiss 2893-2 Gmt workhorse under the hood... I was quite happy with it but knowing what can be done kept me one week before i started to molest The Zigmeister into taking it in... I had some parts that i wanted to install and the mandatory elusive lume job B)

Luck was on my side The Zigmeister responded quick and said he will find an opening to get the job done :D i packed the things up and sent it off...

In the meantime fishgoodep posted his 29 an outstanding example and all i had to do is wait :p

I have returned today from vacation and picked it up in office... ill let the pictures talk but u can bet im really happy with what i received ;)

BIG Thx to The Zigmeister for the work done no doubt an artist in its own class how he re-lumes that dial by hand is beyond my understanding :o thx also to kruzer for the advices along the way and some tips and tricks that came in handy. Also thx deltahoe on a great deal on a Pam gen calf. B)

The mix:

Pam 29

Swiss ETA 2893-2 GMT movement

C1+C3 Superlume dial and hands

Lello DW

Chief Cyclops

Gen SS auto Crown

Lever tightened, new pin fabricated

CG miled to fit the case perfect

Longer stem installed so gen crown fits lever perfect

Re brushed and polished CG

Amazing specs and result! Truly a piece of art.

Let me suggest a cheesy fantasy idea that will - and should - repel many members - PVD the whole thing and have the engraved numbers on the bezel lumed...Heresy/high-treason I know, but still...
