Hello,

These pictures show the end of a painful journey for me 😅.
It's not perfect and need some alignment work.
It's my first build but it wasn't supposed to be so long.
I bought two Asian 2834-2. Both came with date/say setting issues.
Fortunately I could fix one with pieces of both but I've spend many hours to succeed.
I'll definitely do another one with fluted bezel but I'll take an used ETA movement.

Link to watch kit:

Link to movement. Maybe not the best choice. Two cames "broken" but it can be missluck.
Seller packed it well tho. I think it can be better to send the movement with a "dial" that maintain date and date wheels.

Really nice! How's the quality of the bracelet?
Thank you. Honestly, I can't really judge without having a gen to compare. It's confortable and light like a raffle rolex or even a gen vintage rolex bracelet but is it supposed to be like this? I mean if this build is supposed to be a 1990 watch it looks good.
I'll wear it a few days and if I keep liking it, I think I'll take a gen one. I won't forgive to compare 😉
