OK, M gets a gen, posts a group shot, and I suddenly realize I'm about 4 Explorers behind him on the rep side! I had an MBW dial "show up" in my mail box the other day and decided to do something about my Exp deficit this afternoon. I grabbed one of my trusty 2824 DJ cases, drilled some holes in it, and banged out a bezel. I was lucky and discovered I had one 2824 left so I removed the date bits and I was ready to go. The build went smooth and within an hour I had another watch to hide from wife.gov or I may put it up for adoption.
I drilled out a rep riveted bracelet and put some wo990 end-links on it and I was set. It was actually fun to build something out of a dial I didn't have to clip and glue!
Build Sheet:
Rep 2824 case
Clark T22 crystal
A2824 movement
Rep hands
MBW Explorer dial
Rep bracelet
wo990 end-links for fat spring-bars
Borel spring-bars
Custom bezel
It's too bad the dial maker got a couple of small details wrong on this or itwould have been almost perfect.
