My inspiration for this build was a P series 16610.
The origins;
Step 1- The ST 3135 case. This case is not without fault, the crown guards are stubby the lugs are too think and wide but otherwise the case is Gen. Spec. The TC end links have are fairly close to Gen profile and show just how fat these lugs are. I used my Gen SD for perspective its the only Gen watch I have with SELs. I used files and sand paper to profile the lugs, my skills are novice still and I have not perfected champers yet……
After, not perfect but an improvement
Step 2 The TC 93250. This bracelet is so close to Gen its scary the only issue is that its slightly larger then 20MM and needs to be fit in. The fit is super tight with no gaps after slight sanding on the sides of the end links.
Step 3 Gen 3135 dial and hands. R Cal. 3135 movements are getting expensive and hard to find, this one had a broken 3135 360 Second wheel which was not advertised so I sourced a blistered replacement and had the movement serviced and the head assembled by Tickleshoes who is absolute wizard!!!
