ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. These must be worth a few thousand (and costs the same too)!

How long did the builds take?

You have committed a cardinal sin by NOT posting any wrist shots...

Lovely projects.

But a gen dial with an ETA movement...did you...cut...the dial feet???

Also, how did you do a gen date wheel on an ETA movement?

That 1675 on a folded steel jubilee... I'm drooling :drool:

Both are just incredible! They capture the feel perfectly.

hi mate...
yes no esistation.....i cutted the dial feet...i know it is crazy but is my dream this build..i searched a lot for a gen movement but nothing down the 4000usd
the date wheel is glued on the eta date disc..the only issue (it never bothered me) is that i have to set the correct date every day because the position of the numbers is inverse than the eta movement..

Interesting. I think I’d use pf case, movement and bracelet, mkf dial and hands and BP hour markers. Have a look at keylog, spongebob and Bioone’s custom datewheel project here https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/patek-philippe/6736261-nautilus-date-wheel-project

Congrats on a beautiful two-some: I really like the patina on the gen dial of the 1675. Frankens usually have it overdone, but yours looks perfect!
