repmaster1234 49 Posted October 29, 2018 I've had the pleasure of working on a couple of nice projects recently, with a few more still in the works. I finished these weeks ago but haven't had the time until now to start a thread. I've already posted most of these pictures elsewhere but figured I'd consolidate them. First off, a gilt 1965 5513. I made this one as a birthday gift for my dad. Specs are: Cartel case, reshaped crownguards Reshaped cartel crown, still waiting on an Athaya crown in the mail Gilt dial, courtesy of @repmaster1234 Clarks gold hands Ofrei GS-462 19M crystal ETA 2836 Barton NATO strap - a per my dad's preference On the Cartel bracelet The second watch is a budget-y 6200 "King Sub" that I built for a friend. Parts are: Silix case Raffles gold hands w/ gold lollipop seconds hand Gilt dial courtesy of... I'm not going to use the same bad joke twice. Raffles riveted bracelet DG2813 Any questions, please ask! Unless you're going to ask where I got a part. In that case consult The Vintage Encyclopedia.

repmaster1234 49 Posted October 30, 2018 Thanks all For anyone interested, the camera is a Ricoh GRII. The most unassuming looking camera in the world, but I honestly don't think I'll ever buy another camera. It's fantastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chinksmiley 0 Posted November 11, 2018 Quick question...when you say it’s a silix case, do you mean that you bought just the case from silix’s website or did you buy the whole watch just for the case?Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
