fetasigma 0 Posted August 12, 2013 Thats how it is mate, but with me, I get something into my head, then do the same, but do the work myself. i wish i could do the work myself, but i learned long ago that my hands and little bitty parts do not mix well, keep your eye out that was a great price on that monaceau that you found, mine was right along those lines but i stole it for 180. the next part that comes down to it is do you really want to deal with the crapshoot that is DW when getting the rest of the parts to build a monte carlo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just wish there was another source, but I may just have to do something myself. I'm pretty good with my hands, and been investing tools, and equipment that will help me make my own cases, and parts, but this will take time, but thats all I have. I'm 43 years young now, but in a few years, who knows what I will be capable of creating Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted August 12, 2013 Got a 79260 lovely watch not so expensive. Think at 2K you can find something. 2k is doable. No rush to get one, but I want one, so will have to put some money aside each month in between normal life's expenditures, and holidays, so I will make it happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will look into the donor watch first, then start planning the parts, and case set purchases. Thanks mate. here is the rundown if you want to build the perfect one though phong makes the best case(best pushers and case back engraving) yuki for main hands DW for the dial dw for chrono hands(need to repaint centers as gen are stainless there) phong for the chrono bridge(if you feel you need to go that far) I honestly find dw isn't that bad to deal with as long as you are buying just parts and you get qc pics before sending cash, if you buy a completed watch from him you will have troubles as he is no watchsmith and the product can be disasterously bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
