Hi guys,
I'm gonna start with saying sorry for the lack of photo's of the surgery, I work in between office hours and I lack the time to document everything.
So here it is, my first ever build, sourced the parts from all over the web, adds up to roughly the same amount as I would need to buy a new ZF Fiddy :blush:
I started collecting the parts months ago when there were only rumours of a new launch....
I sourced a swiss 6497-1, removed the rough plating to reveal the brass underneath, gives a nice golden hue![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The case I found through a guy on ebay, lots of negotiating, mailing back & forth, and It finally arrived. The dial is a bit yellow/brownish so not very gen-like but I like it anyway![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The CG was sourced on this lovely forum from Pratt, thank you man!
Onto the crappy pics:
I'm gonna wear it for a while, and maybe sell it on or give it to my dad, we'll see![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Certainly not going to be the last build ever!
Cheers
