Hello gents,

sharing the latest build as usual because i like making pics after each project is done :thumbup:
Still checking it's movement accuracy and power reserve but all other is fully done,so now are the details:

Case: River 3646 3pcs case all reshaped and heavy aged by me. This is pure natural aging, salty rain and rusty environment. Grinder work and some light polishing.

Plexi: ok,this is some interesting work. Very custom made..gen like volcano prototype Type D plexi which was made by Alex (Kpoy). Quality overall is amazing. Some light diameter reduction to this case (it was 392 size) and fits perfectly. As case was heavy aged so plexi should look from the same era. As you can see from profile..its really gen like (all pics bellow)

Hands: cort 616 Athaya's hi tube hands with reduced high and heavy aged. Relumed with holio cornholio T15-4 lume
Dial: very rare and probably no more available Joe'sneckyzips Rolex 37mm dial which was fully reworked by me. Heavy aged and relumed with holio cornholio T15-4 lume mix. Dial feet was additionally added.

Movement: Thanks to Edgar for his great quality Cortebert 616 engine. So far so good,but needs to check in in full power reserve.

Strap: Made from Sweedish army WW2 period genuine ammo pouch. Cleaned and softened with custom stich. made by me.

Buckle: Elias as usual brass and heavy aged GPF buckle.

Also used new River's 1,2mm to 1,5mm stem connectors which fits perfectly! finally they are available!!!

for your judgement and thank you :thumbup:
