Akira,

 

follow KBH message, decrypt, and go ahead in your project

 

I will buy the $98 Version.

Fit in a 21.6 Bph 21J movement instead of the high beat.

Trim the CG's

Do the vintage insert chlorine thingy.

Maybe change the crystal if I don't like the rep crystal.

Maybe change the dial too.

Make it look vintage....

Andei is sending me some lume he used for his 1675. :sofa:

 

Think it's a good watch then :rofl:

 

Perfect project! I would the flatter raised xtal.. But that is because I think the domed is way too domed for my taste..

Yep, don't know how I feel about the domed rep crystal yet.

But easy change :sofa:

If the dial texture is good I'll keep it. If not I'll buy the yuki dial.

Yes.. Don't buy that Yuki dial just yet.. slightly age the dial and apply some vint lume.. will look awesome! But, one catch.. You will have to post the pics in the Vintage section..lol

right, Yuki is a very good company, great stuff, but dials are not the best of their products,

 

these little 98usd watches are excellent and dials are not bad, I will say they are very good to custom with home made vintage lume

 

show pics when the job is finished :)
