Being the lucky gent I am I did all I could do and got my flu shot, BUT I still got it. Been dead since about Monday and today was the first day I felt like I wasnt going to the grave. Had no temperature and was watching movies in bed when the mailman rung the doorbell. Well, Christmas came early and I got my old school Helenrou Ti case. I unwrapped it and was in love, minus the crappy AR. So out came the cape cod and a dremel. After about 10 minutes I had the AR off. I was still feeling good so I decided to put it all together (I had already mounted the dial to the mvt, shaved the hands and mounted those. The rest is easy. Anyways a few teasers from my phone as I'm too worn out now to go look for a camera.

Specs are FGD 001 dial, old school helenrou case (the cg and crown are nice for a rep), helenrou hands. It has an 001 caseback but it needs a Jakob 040 caseback. Enjoy!
