1959 gilt 7928 finally finished!

[Hugop]

It seems like I have been chasing this one for a long time. The gilt 59 with square crown guards is super rare in the gen world and the prices reflect it!

Thanks to Jensen and a few other parts sources I have managed to get all the bits and pieces together in one place.

Build spec is as follows:

Phong square crown guard case
Phong Tudor case back
MW high dome T19
Clark bezel assembly
Yuki 7206 rivet bracelet
Vietnam gilt dial
Waiting on a 700 crown from Adrian

Perfect in every way. Did you do the lume job? It's absolutely precision stuff. Those 12, 9 and 6 indices are the best I've seen.

I aged what was already there. The dial arrived with white plots.

Ok, very nice. Wear that bad boy proudly.

BTW, did they ever put straight end links on these or just the 7923?

It was normally on the 7923, although I have seen a random one or two with them though!

Ok for the second hand. But hours and minutes hands ? Clark Tudor ?

 

[trismeplz]

Looks amazing especially the dial! : )

Sorry Bart, I had them in the drawer and can't remember. But I did buy hands from both Clark and TC. I am betting TC though.

 

[Bart Cordell]

Thanks

For what reason did you prefer the clark bezel to the phong?
