Second project - Blue Snowflake Date

[abzack]

I've been busy with work for a while, but I just finished my second project, a blue Snowflake Date. The case is from a 1680 rep, the movement is a clone 2824, and the dial and hands came from the bay. Its not perfect, but I don't think it turned out too bad.

...and the family, 79090, blue SF date, and blue SF no date...

Mahand makes some great hands. I'm not the hugest fan of his dials but this comes together really well.

Wear it in good health!

I had a Mahand dial once. I saw a m2m sale where the member sold a Yuki 9401 that looked great, great dark color. Also IF, ND trading as a BAD ASS 9401 dial for about $300 but wow.
They look great. Get yur case backs engraved and some matching lume on the dial/hands and you got uber Tudor's amigo

It is my opinion that the Yuki/Mahand dials are made by the same vendor.

Thanks civic and txrob. I'd like to get the case backs engraved eventually...

I think it looks really great. What color lume are you planning on going with? A nice vintage look or a well cared for and rarely used look?

Thanks Redxds! Probably more of a vintage look.

Very nice build indeed.

I'm a huge sucker for snowflakes (and the gorgeous 1680s and 5513s!) and yours is excellent!

OK. Time for an update. I picked up a new yuki dial, hands, and Tudor rotor from firesuite. The parts came in yesterday, and I just finished getting it together.

Great looking watch. The dial and insert really pop with the nato as well.

Thanks Redxds! Its a Heritage Nato. I thought I'd try them out, and decided I like them.
