Yes have seen bro, will fit normal hand set in CL means blue lume and a steel bezel, would be perfect bro.

my next one will be this one from Time4diamonds too with a full opened 4130 movement, made some test on reshaping the mainplate at this moment.

Mica! Your builds go from good to excellent! It is like art! Very beautiful. However is there any reason for the Bezel misalignment? Either way, looks great!

Thanks bro,
Yes a little misaligned due to engravings of dial, not well as gen could be, but hopefully for the Tdf have bought today’s gen WG bezel, on next week should be there, and would be perfect ????

I saw a dealer in Munich watch show selling this (but don't have the hands) . From memory he was asking 300 EUR for it. This is what Artisan De Geneve had on the La Montoya. It seems like you need like top plate on top of this to have a secure skeleton.

Looks like the dial is fine, it's the bezel that's engraved off center at the 120 area. I've seen other aftermarket ones with this same flaw. Gen WG bezel will fix it nicely.

Ever since seeing a Gen 116509 with red hands I've wanted to build one of these.

Agreed it’s a very beautiful and fun watch, on tomorrow will receive the gen clasp and gen case back too and hope the gen WG bezel.

Only noob part remaining the middle case but reshape.

Did you do the reshape yourself?

Forgive my ignorance, but with reshaping the case do you also get around the issue with the SELs having gaps etc?

Im just trying to understand what reshaping does; im guessing it changes the look of the case...?

Yes change the look of case, especially left side and lugs.

Nope reshape case don’t get around sel gaps if there was, the only way found to correct that problem is changed the band, or inverted the side of band. However some members correct that wis a slide of scotch on the intern side of lugs, never trying but seems giving good results.
