I have a big exam this Monday so I don't have the time to do a big review (yet) but I'm super excited to share a 6263 "RCO" that @TheSociety helped me out with. It's my first chronograph but I'm really enjoying it!

Notice the beautiful black croc strap (super soft!) courtesy of thesociety as well!

Finished modding my cartel 1680. Sanded off the cyclops, bleached the insert, aged and relumed dial from interaktiv which I added some hairspray to and swapped in a clasp from a 6 digit because I love the glide lock. I also had to switch the silver DWO, which was a first for me, because I screwed the first movement.

@interaktiv, that's a charming 7031/0. Can't find anything non-GEN-looking on it, and I absolutely love the patina, especially on the hands.
Can you give me some details about the built and the specs?

Thank you my friend!

Watch has the following specs:

The case I bought from MQ. Of course, I worked a bit (all edges refined) and added a special patina (steel browning), so that it gets the look of a 45 years old watch! I replaced the MQ Crown and Tube with one of Athaya.

The dial I bought at Phong.

As Movement I used an original Dugena 4003 (Valjoux 7734). I bought it at Ebay in NOS condition and converted in 45 min chronograph.

The Hands I have bought at MQ, but am not particularly satisfied with it! In the next days, I'm still waiting for a few hands of Phong and Yuki and then I see which will be replaced.
