A23322 Navitimer Project: Need BP Case or Watch

[Slanglican]

okay, so as you can see I have a gen dial, slide rule insert, hands and date wheel.
the b23 movement is on it’s way and it’ll all get assembled with my watchsmith!

Now, as he already has the parts and time is our most valuable asset, I’m in real need for a BP A23322 watch or case ASAP...

If anyone has a case from a left over project or just ready to sell their BP A23322, please let me know...

I have ordered one already, but he’s having issues getting it shipped via 4px and I’m not about to trust yanwen... sorry, call me impatient... I’m just too anxious to use them at the moment...

How beautiful is that blue dial, right???

if anyone is able to help, let me know!!

Thank you!

I was hoping someone would have a BP or have a project with one they didn’t finish...
just awkward when the watchsmith is sitting there with all the parts And understands nothing about the patience and peril of ordering rep watches...

That'll be awesome when it's done!

I keep coming back to this. Such a spectacular dial.
It really deserves a perfect build.

Ive been ogling over this dial since I first saw it on TGV’s Urban Gentry YouTube channel..

Well I’ve got the guy to do it!
he did an amazing job on my chronomat!

Just Hoping the genuine slide rule will fit into the BP case/bezel!

I was able to see a genuine white dial not too long ago and dude.. the BP dial is just spot on... only damn thing that white dial needs is a 7753 and some hands..

I can't help but I'm following this, that is a great project with all the best gen parts. May I ask the cost of these ?
I hope you find a case ASAP OP, that's gonna be a great build.

Man my dealer (Dr. Time) has a really effective 4px route to Conus... So, his forwarder was able to retrieve the package before it sent out yanwen and then got it swapped to 4px.
he didn’t have to do any of that but he did and really showed a lot about his character.. (has badass qc too)..
I just kinda made this post in a rush/bout of anxiety.
Case is on the plane to USA now...

I’ll pm you on the rest..

…still waiting… this guy is slow as hell… super frustrating…

 

[Thatwatchguy]

Damn man this is going to be one hell of a build:thumbsup:

 

[Ferax]

Please, tell me how did you find the gen date disk? I have searched the whole chrono24 and eBay and got nothing

 

[Importr]

When desperate for gen parts, I ask Blake at Scotch watch to step in. Anyone know if he's still around?

Did not know about Blake at scotchwatch. Thanks for that! Just sent him an email, but they are closed until Oct. 18. Will let you know if he was able to help me.

 

[Slanglican]

I’m so outdone with this fuck.
he’s had the parts for over two months.
he at least managed to put the hands on the dial and put the datewheel in..
but for 4 straight weeks has given me the bullshit that he’ll finish tomorrow and ship it back.
finally yesterday he says he’ll ship it Wednesday BUT he hasn’t swapped the slide rule or changed out the crystal…
I’ve Paid him handsomely already and told him I’d pay him an extra 100 to just swap the slide rule before shipping Wednesday…

He’s done work for me before and I have pictures and crap so I’m 99.999% sure he isn’t taking me for a ride on the Bullshit train…

I guess hea just a worse procrastinator than I am…

can’t wait to hear his excuse this week…

 

[Ferax]

You must be really desperate when you told him that he will gain extra 100
I am not a watchsmith but is it really so hard to put all these parts together? Especially when he did not had to source any parts? But as I said, I am just a noob...

 

[Importr]

It's not hard, when you have all the correct tools and experience. Sounds like that guy just can't be bothered or is too busy.
