toomanywatches 0 Posted September 13, 2010 My "low cost" 6152 build is pretty much done (will be followed next year by tall CP/3 layer dial version)... just waiting on my RP dial from Southy. With some time on my hands, started my DSN 52mm Egi build. Bought the completed watch with Swiss 6497. Coupled with a nice strap and gigantic SM buckle, the watch is awesome/comfortable with great wrist presence. Modifications on Egi, so far, started with vintage luming of pearl and 15/30/45 bezel markings. Reshaped/widened/drilled lugs to install Okabum spring bars (Don't try without drill press!!!). Waiting on my order from Nightwatch for a black vintaged MM 8GB dial. Looking diff crystal options...sucha as into having 6mm Plexi made out of Perspex (same stuff as gen Tropic 24/25). Using Hamilton 917 since it's such a beautiful movement and Angelus SF 240 is too damn expensive!! So what else am I missing on this Egi build?? Advice and suggestions appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
