My Monte Carlo 7032 build thread

[Ephry73]

I had to get the other one! This completes the build until I can find the bakelite 7031 bezel.


Thanks for posting.

"I shot the serif's" :rofl:


Kick ass whew :eze:

I have mine getting ready to go to, 7734 arrived, dw case arrived, awaiting yuki hands and a nice serif date wheel but they are in the mail and on route. you might consider painting(with a grey metallic) or scratching the paint off of the center hands of the dw dial hands....the black center portion gives it away a bit otherwise it is gorgeous

 

[Ephry73]

Rob, you crack me up

 

[txrob779]

I am glad someone "GOT" it .....dang

 

[Ko67]

Crap. Thanks to the member who pointed out to me that my fantastic serif date wheel is a date at 3 , not at 6. I hate being stupid...

 

[Ephry73]

Yup! not stupid, just passionate. There is another date disc out there with your name on it.

Very nice build, well done. The 7734 fit a bretiling bullhead?

Looking good, fellow Monte owner
Your build sounds a lot like mine. Except I just tracked all of the
parts down and had a full service and build done by a professional.
I do not possess these skills but wish I did. Here's my beautiful movement
I got lucky enough to snag:

It's a 70's Heuer that was a 30 minute chrono but I found the 3 parts
needed to convert it to a 45 minute one.
My full service:

Same hand configuration as you, Yuki hands for Hour, Minute and Center, DW Chrono hands that still need the centers changed to white. I had the center hand shortened and I still need to cut-down the hour hand a little bit as well.



Love wearing my Monte

Breitling has a different counters minutes a hours but the holes are almost the same.

Please advise me, where to buy case and dial for such build
