I'm really happy with this one (like all of my Yodog builds!)

• Vietnam case
• Vietnam dial
• Slay's Fat Font Kissing 40 insert (correct serifs on the base of the "2"s)
• Gen 127 plexi
• Gen 702 crown
• Swiss ETA 2824 movement

Yessssss!! This is gorgeous! Who did you work with to acquire parts and assemble this amazing piece?

This is exactly what I want to build with a 1570 movement. I want to build a 1972 red (birth year for me) and my thought is to use my birthdate as the serial number. Unfortunately, my birth date as a serial # would actually push it out to 1976, but only the most persnickety of nitpickers would pick up on that. :)

Yodog put it all together and the gen parts were sourced on ebay from trusted sellers.

My man! I definitely have to connect with him once I am ready to start. So far I love every build he has done for you!

I like the color of that leather. What leather maker did you purchase from for this one?
