Some of you probably know that I acquired a gen dial from brane and I've been getting some sage advice from theREALgoat as well.
So yeah, I had the fortune of getting a gen white Nautilus dial, and I decided it would be fun to chronicle the process of getting this to a final state.
My projected build is most likely going to be:
1. PF Nautilus 5711 base
2. Gen white dial ($1100 on M2M here, now going for ~$3k)
3. JJF White Nautilus hands
4. DWO done by Keylog74
However, due to CNY and unavailability/impatience, I am going to use the PF hands as the lume matches pretty closely. I can change the hands out later relatively easy after CNY. My TD has confirmed he can get me the JJF hands.
Work is going to be done by yodog because he's the bomb. I asked him to put the DWO as close to the dial as possible, and he does a good job of centering the dates. I've also asked him to take pics during the process so we can all learn from his wisdom.
The dial:
These pics are comparing the lume color to PF. Sorry for the crappy lighting, I took them last night with my iphone before packaging them.
