Frankened AP project

[Pratt]

Small frankened project by amatuer.

Obviously the stem on the LWO crown and the rep stem is different in length. A swop is a must i guess.

The mid case has been modded to fit the movement.

flushed with modded case

i noticed that the height is not sufficient . how to hold the movement in position ?

the GEN dial is on its way ... stay tune

[shaidx]

you need a custom made movement ring to hold the movement

 

[Pratt]

guess i need to "shave" the rep tachy a little to make the LWO movement + dial to sit nicely without gaps.

Nice mate. Which ROO are you going for?

 

[Pratt]

Nice mate. Which ROO are you going for?

the usual white theme i guess.. easiest dial to find

 

[jamztio]

Ah ok. May I know from where did you get that tachy ring? since it seems to be white instead of in silver finish.

 

[TastyTreats]

sweet mate - will look nice when your done.

this tachy isnt the correct one .. white theme needs a silver ring .. im working on the thickness of the ring , and looking at how much to be shave off , before using the right one .:r2d4:

Shaidx measured out the difference between the gen and rep tachy ring and posted a thread on it in this forum. The rep tachy is thicker, yes.

 

[Pratt]

yes though have the measurements, i do not have a sophiscated milling machine. i still have to use my manual bench wheel or dremel ..

Yes, the White Theme has the silver finish tachy. Actually I need that white tachy of yours.

[slaughterer62]

I would avoid using a dremel for this.

mine is out from a safari .. its off white actually

no choice ..

i custom using 2x rolex brackets to hold the movement. it works great !! :cheer::cheer::cheer:

 

[Pratt]

help needed ...

now that the movement is secured in the correct position; i have problem positioning the tachymetre

tachymetre at original rep dimensions : tachymetre does not flush with dial.

tachymetre at 4.1mm correct position that flush with dial . but look at the top part !

tachymetre 4.1mm flush with dial without bezel

tachymetre 5.3mm does not flush with dial

position of the LWO movement is correct. what went wrong ??

 

[Pratt]

Positioning of movement seems correct . do i have to shave of the case now or the rubber ??

I think Domi shaves the rubber

 

[jamztio]

Domi shaves the rubber. Actually, both the case and rubber need to be thinned down to be precise. But it's also possible to just thin the rubber.
