All I can say is WOW! :thud:

Gorgeous! The dial makes it, IMHO. Bezels, cases, bracelets, crystals can all be dealt with. I've been let down by so many rep dials, even from the likes of yuki, ingod, etc. With any rep watch, my eye goes straight for the dial, and I pick them apart unmercifully.

When I decide to build a vintage super fraken, I'm going to make sure I have a budget to build it around a gen dial.

Kudos to you..you have the perfect sub. If you ever get tired of it ( ) be sure to PM me!
