Pepsi 1675 PCG
Vietnam case build



Hello gents, tonight I am showing you another effort of mine as I had the chance to build a 1675 using high end vietnam parts.



These are expensive parts, roughly double a cartel build budget, but they do make a difference. Even more in person than in pics.
You'll be the judge whether it's been worth it :)



Here is the parts list:

Vietnam PCG complete case set including bezel assembly and pepsi insert, refinished and slightly aged





Sternkreuz 25-116 plexi



Vietnam true gilt dial, partially relumed by me





Raffles DWO with open 6 & 9, aged



Cartel hands
Raffles small GMT hand



Asian 2836 w/GMT module
Gen crown



Cartel jubilee bracelet modded to accept 2mm springbars



Now that I think about it I used a gen crown for this build... does this make it my first franken? Semi-franken? Franken-light? Ouch, my head! :lol.

More pics:

















That's all for now, hope you enjoyed the pics :)

my friend, the famous build, but I know the same flaw that my last Vietnamese chest, the hump to the loops, tomorrow I'll definitely work to eliminate it, but it will not be easy, it is in default that I do not go down.
congratulations throughout the construction
