Excellent choice with the pre-transitional model. What prompted you to choose the ETA for the low beat rather than another movement?

xray7 I think the ETA2846 is a very good and common movement for these vintage builds.
The advantages of the 2846 is the low-beat with 21.600 compared to the Gen one with 19.600 - so very close and period correct.
Also the date setting mechanism - counter clockwise - is like the Gen movement.
The best way to be period correct without sourcing a Gen movement (Gen movement needs at least a Vietnam / Phong case and the costs are than much higher)

Great looking build.

I am currently looking for a date disc overlay for this watch. It is a JK with a vietnam dial / 2836. I feel like the datewheel is always too far to the left of the date window.

Any suggestions?

Hi eddy@manu how did you source that bracelet? I have found the folded 9315 type bracelet for sale at Trusty but with a different non sub clasp.

Very nice watch build.
One question: what plexy crystal is this? Where have you sourced it. Looks very nice with this very close look to GEN (if it looks in real like on the nice pictures)

Hi,

Did you do the casework yourself?
