Niceeee!

Update on an old project.

Basically I sold everything and started from scratch. Scored a decent MQ dial and mounted it on a chronometer grade ETA 2824 and stuck it in a Phong case with custom engraving. I still want to put a 702 on it and I will call it done.

All of this for improved crownguards and the correct stem height. haha.

^looks amazng bro.....especially that dial. Wow.
What hands you using?

 

[scottb57]

Absolutely STELLAR build, brother. Wow. The case is a HUGE improvement and suits that MQ dial perfectly.

That´s a huge impovement on the crownguards, amazing. It just looks great together with the new dial.

 

[DVNE]

Thank you everybody!

^looks amazng bro.....especially that dial. Wow.
What hands you using?

I used vintage lumed Tiger-Concepts ETA Snowflake hands. It is the correct shape and width as per gen. Really a huge huge improvement from Phong's oversized hands that were meant for 29mm dials.

Wow this looks absolutely gorgeous! That dial! :drool:

The crown guards make a difference here. Good luck on the build!

I did one similar a few years back when I scored a genuine 9411 dial. Sold it to fund a genuine 9411 which I also managed to score for an unbelievable price (only a bit more than a complete phong snowflake)

Looks great. Keep up the good work. [emoji1]

Hi DVNE

That's an awesome watch!

I'm new to the replica/homage scene & my main interest is Pams...but this looks amazing...before long I wouldn't know what to get myself first.

Wear it in good health!
