Specs? Amazing
Thank you. It's just mostly vietnam parts other than the crown and bracelet; however i had to modify the clarks crystal to get the shape right and re-machine a random case back to get the thickness right (the cases come with the super thick 6538 case backs...) And of course since i'm allergic to chinese clone movements i machined the case to accept an NH38. It's just a very elaborate seiko mod! :ROFLMAO:

great job

I read that you had trouble finding the 13mm (gen spec) hands and I felt so identified....

The rafflestime ones are 13mm, did you use those? The gold ones...

Thanks

I used helenarou hands i think, but a mix of two sets. I wish i could find a better insert, the vn ones are s*&$t, but im' currently tired of blowing money on crap aftermarket parts so im' leaving it be at the moment.
