My beater 7016/0

[Hugop]

This has been a work in progress for quite a long time. This is the second case she has been in, third crystal, fourth crown, second dial, third movement....you get the picture. The watch has become a fixture in my rotation. It is normally worn when its not safe to wear my high end frankens or gen watches.

Here is the current recipe.

-Phong 7016/0 midcase
-Phong caseback
-Gen swiss ETA 2842 low beat
-Clark Bezel assembly
-I believe this was my Yuki insert
-Gen crown
-Gen Superdome
-Aythaya acrylic pearl lumed by me
-Rafflestime cheap dial with hyphen removed and my vintage lume.

Obviously would love to replace this dial with a gen or maybe custom lume a yuki or maybe buy a MQ. Not sure what is next for the dial or hands for that matter. This one will continue to evolve but I like the fact that with all the changes and use she has taken on some major "gen feel". I hope you guys like her as much as I.

Very cool beater, I'm a huge fan of the 'flakes. Nice work with the dial too, the lume looks good.

Nice watch Hugo. I will try to post a close up of my dial which is a yuki lumed by rolex addict.

Would love to see that dial. Also stay tuned as I am about to change this watch into something very special over the next couple of months...
