oncyte Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Well...the final piece was finally installed. I managed to get a sapphire crystal with an embedded cyclopse with a really nice mag. I feel that this is as close to gen as this watch can go without swapping gen parts into it. If anyone has a really good picture of the gen 029b (L SWISS MADE L) I'd really appreciate it if you could post it up. From the crappy gen pics I have i'd say it seems pretty spot on. Here are some pics....enjoy! I went Artsy fartsy on these pics.... My standard kitchen counter top shot... And here it is outside in natural lighting..

Ronin Posted June 15, 2009 Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Very nice. Out of curiosity, what date wheel is that? Lello? Also, nice straps? Whos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oncyte Posted June 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2009 Very nice. Out of curiosity, what date wheel is that? Lello? Also, nice straps? Whos? Yup...it's a Lello...but the cyclopse makes a huge difference as well. pic 1: rep black calf (gen black calf and buckle are enroute!) pic 2: George Lan tan vachetta pic 3: Theyo blue steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidge007 Posted June 16, 2009 Report Share Posted June 16, 2009 Trying to get the parts together to make one myself. Great looking watch, well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oncyte Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Thank you all for the comments! It was difficult finding a 029 with the correct bezel with stretched numbers like the gen and this also seems to have one of the best dials I've seen. The last challenge is finding the perfect strap for the 029. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
