Why are you not putting it together yourself, Coax? You took it apart just fine. What is your concern?

Also- no genuine Swiss ETA, seems like this build deserves it, and it's the perfect time to do it. I might know where you can get a gen Tissot movement for it at a reasonable price. :whistle:

You're right Dan, I could do most of the work myself but I would have my problems with the case works especially the case work fir the gen he valve.
Plus I want this to be build to perfection. Contacted Kenny now.
