GenTLe 1,501 Posted October 23, 2016 Finished today This is a relatively cheap build: JK factory 1665 (238$), Athaya crown (35$), aftermarket bezel spring (7$), reglued and centered dwo, and a mixture of an ETA 2842 (40$, serviced, taken from a 1992 swatch) with parts of an Asian 2836 (main spring, 4th wheel -second hand pinion-, cannon pinion and hour wheel, because the Swiss ones were too short for the thick dial of this watch); case reshaped and lugs drilled, gen-like spring bars :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,501 Posted October 23, 2016 What a stunning watch it is!!! Besides of the strap. One of the best i've seen . Like it as much as a TC.... Or even more. Thanks a lot mate The strap is an ultra-cheap one ( https://www.aliexpress.com/item/20mm-22mm-High-quality-handmade-calfskin-strap-vintage-genuine-leather-strap-watch-strap-for-moto360/32685400409.html ) that I got to test the watch on leather before to decide to go with a more serious one or keep it on the bracelet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GenTLe 1,501 Posted October 23, 2016 Thanks NCRich! It took some time to make the movement to work fine, plus I have been travelling a lot recently, so very few spare time for my watches Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
