Its beautiful

How's the case and dial on this one?

Possible to make a decent 249 from it maybe...?

That's actually not too bad for a vintage build. Just relume the dial, get some proper hands and a new plexi and you're done.

Plus the lugs are already welded!

Maybe a bit of welding required near the crowntube but that's all.

These look like the ones River was selling

Nice, cheers. What are the flaws with this one then chaps, in terms of a vintage build?

Could it be converted to a modern 249 at all?

For the money its awesome. Welded lugs are a huge plus. They should be releasing one with a high bezel soon.

3 piece dial + tall cp and new plexi w/a new strap and it will be awesome

Sorry i dont like it.

Sorry i dont like it.

You don't like the design, or you think it's inaccurate? Or both...

 

[COLDI]

The Bezel is a bit off but for a budget vintage build this is awesome

 

[jbetts1790]

its pretty good, it looks like the same case set as river.

Since the lugs are welded... how to change the straps?

 

[COLDI]

There is a small spring bar between the lugs that the strap hides

Sorry to reignite this reasonably old thread, about to 'pull the trigger' on one of these but am wondering what the exact flaws are with regards to the plexi and bezel etc.

Don't mind this as a small project - just after tips on what to fiddle with first.

Not an expert in these vintage pams... Yet

River is where I'll be buying from. Will be getting the Cali version at the bottom
