SSTEEL 0 Posted October 16, 2013 Great job my friend, looks great on that strap too. What re-work did you do to the case exactly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Foxindebox 462 Posted October 16, 2013 Hi, just been looking for a contact email on rafflestime website to see if they will ship to the uk and can't seem to find one. Do you happen to have any contact details as I'd love to buy one of these dials. Many thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fandrea 0 Posted October 16, 2013 Thanks guys cool watch mate, good looking straps too, i am getting old waiting on the rep of the rep hahaha Yes me too and Angus said now the crystal maker lost the mould Great job my friend, looks great on that strap too. What re-work did you do to the case exactly? The dial size for Tiger case is 28mm but Ken dial is 29mm so I had two choices: enlarged a case or reducing a dial: i choose to enlarge a case with a dremel Finally I polished the case to get a satin finish.

Burnleybezel 29 Posted October 16, 2013 Hi hate you! - I'd give my left nut for a black bay, it's a Grail watch for me, love it! I keep looking at the Gens. I wish they would bring the Rep out, but alas I don't think it's happening! B.B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish they would bring the Rep out, but alas I don't think it's happening! B.B hahahaha wait for Angus or buy a gen or do it one yourself like me :P This is my second watch build and I did it also for practise because my last build was very very difficult. Not yet completely finished but a preview: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kcore 0 Posted October 16, 2013 WOW, great work! Absolutely love this BB and the cool bomber strap too. I've recently ordered a similar distressed bomber strap for my vintage sub. I should have it any day and it was inexpensive too. Cheers and wear your BB in good health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShovelnTC 31 Posted October 25, 2013 Beautiful job, Hanging out for the BB rep and I also have been really tempted to buy Gen but just can't bring myself to parting with that much cash for just one watch when there are soooo many reps that I still want. Enjoy your BB! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
