hey guys,
update ted on the build, been wanting to mod the case and make it more gen like shaped.
Made some progress today, sadly I had only a noob Daytona case to go off of. How ever it looks much better.
modded pusher side, reshaped the crown guards, and modded the lugs on other side (arf issue)
Pusher side, not only is the angle off on the pushers from having the 7750 vs 4130 they really missed the shape , and dropped the pushers into far into the case. changing the angle here really made the pushers look correct and more gen like.
I’m hoping to get my hands on a gen case to use a reference. But for the first round I’m very pleased. Also I need to find the tool to remove the pusher tubes from case, was a real pain working around them.
Arf left noob on the right
tried getting the reflextions similar to each other. Can get a little better.
Reshaped the case using 600 grit on a 1” belt sander finished belt sanding off with 1000 grit, then came back with hand sanding to prep for polish, than followed with Dremel and a rough polishing pad, than followed that with a bench grinder brushing wheel to achieve a smooth surface and polished it off with a 3 step polish process.
all in all I’m very happy so far, had some plans tonight and did not get to finish the watch, hopefully by the weekend I’ll have it together.
gen hands show up on Friday, and I expect the dial and bezel to show up soon.
