I find myself coming back to this build often ! I have built 4 of these before! The last one turning out great!

But still wanted to do one with gen dial! But I didn't want to cut the feet off a perfect gen dial!
Recently I found out the whole time I was building the other four! That I could had used Yuki 3135 movement! So all this time I could have done what I originally wanted to do in the first place..lol So here is a preview of round five!
I really hope I get the results I been wanting!

SD is been in my wish list for years now and I am hoping to get a good deal in CONUS as I hate the waiting game:) I honestly can afford the real deal but I can't justify spending that much of $ if I can get a super rep.

If you got the funds bro! It can be built! You just got to decide what you want in a build ? Gen dial,Gen hands,gen insert, gen crown.etc!
Then decide seriously if your going to do it!
Then hire someone or source the parts your self!
To me that's where the fun is! But as far as buying a build like this? They don't come up often! So your going to have to wait to a degree!

and can anyone comment of the sound of the A2824 movement in this sd ? is it going to be loud ? i haven't had a rep in a while, but when i had a pam and iwc i remember you should hear the watch tick/working when the room was silent. is it going to be the same for this watch ?
