Nice start to a interesting project. keep us posted.

I hope this gets you into his good books for many years to come! A lovely gesture

Awesome job, and for your father in law? Your a good man Hope they appreciate all the work your putting into it.

Wow, this is fantastic work. I wish you the best of luck in your search! I'm subscribing to this.

Very good work! I did not think it would look as good as it turned out in the finished pictures. Have you shared any of this with your father in law yet, or are you going to surprise him?

This was so good to read man..waiting for the result..really nice gesture i must admit

Wow! thats an amazing gesture. I can't wait to see the finished product!

Thanks to "multiquoting" :cheese: I can respond you all.

I have to say my father-in-law is a very nice man and I like him.
We have very interesting conversations when we meet ... mainly watches, poker and wine.
Plus he's very ill and I really dont know how long he'll stay there, so anything I can do to make him happy is a real pleasure for me.

Finally I have a nice 16610 dial coming soon so I'll wait to receive it before putting everything together.
In the meantime I'll probably work a little more on the crystal and the case.
I should post the final result there next week so keep in touch :hi:

Salut mascob1 ... j'ai un peu mieux structuré mon post que sur le bar d'à côté
No problem about you multiposting ... but I would much prefer a "multi/autowash" with Milla Jovovich :hehehe:

and sorry ... forgot to thank you for the Cerium Oxide trick [emoji6]

Indeed ...
"on the other side" it was more a day by day thread, insights posted on the post.
My "16800 Comex build" thread was definitely more structured (still working on the english version).

Pretty awesome work and pretty awesome son in law. Very impressive and funny to see that imprint on the caseback.

Thanks @kilowattore ... considering the level of your builds (here and on other forums) the term "excellent" really means my work has been worthy.

To day I just reworked a little the cyclop with Cerium Oxide, took a final pic and edited the specific post here https://forum.replica-watch.info/th...tinerand-plastic-surgery.381735/#post-3502875
Though I'm never perfectly satisfied with my work and almost always think I could have done better ... I must say I'm really happy with the final result

10 - CASE & BRACELET :

This morning I woke up in the wee hours so I had some time to work on that watch before SSB (Shave/Shower/Breakfast :smile.
So I put the crystal and gasket baco in the midcase and the insert back on the bezel.
Add the caseback and crown, springbars.
So here is just a pic of the complete CASE & BRACELET.
At the moment I'm waiting for a nice 16610 dial to come so I let the movement and hands in their respective boxes.

First just a pic of how it looked ... stubby crownguards, a bracelet more tarnished than brushed and a loosy crown



And NOW ... really nice IMHO, despite the very bad light a 5pm
I'll take some better pics and wristshots with the movement and new dial cased in ... on friday if everything goes well.

Thank you all :smile:
She's waiting for its new dial ... thanks to @tripdog the plastic surgery will soon be completed, so I'll let you know with some wristchecks ... possibly Friday or Saturday
I just hope I wont brake a keyless while putting the stem back in the movement (they're always a risk ... unfortunately).

Already said but this is a really great post.
Be sure to share this thread with your father in law so he appreciates the work you did, and the rep community.

Thanks @Radman
My father in law dont often goes on the net (except for playing poker in line ... he's still tough at that game) but when I'll give the watch back to him he will get a copy of my notebook describing all the process.
I did the same with the 16800 Comex I build for my elder son and he really appreciated that (I never posted a thread about that build but I HAVE to do that).
