So nice!

The black is a modded WM9 with gen dial, insert, crown, DW (I think), WSO bracelet, WM9 clasp, WM9 bezel, Swiss ETA movement, TC gold hands.
The blue is originally a TC V6 with gen dial, gen hands, gen insert, gen bezel, gen bracelet, WM9 clasp, Gen movement, gen crown.
The black is a project that's still being worked on, the blue is a genenstein that's pretty much completed unless I can get an ST case and gen clasp. These are my two favorites but my TC yacht is a close third

Bump!

Joey on your black build you mention you have a WSO bracelet with wm9 clasp.

How did you get your solid end links on the WSO bracelet?

That was built by tagfan1 and Rudy40. I believe tagfan modified the bracelet

So did he install wm9 end links onto the WSO bracelet?

I only ask because I'm going the wm9 route myself! Although I was going to live with hollow endlinks via the stock WSO bracelet. But if he can mod the end links that's another option!

Damn man I leave for a few months and this thread dies eh!

Yeah hoping this wm9 I bought makes its way to me safely! I picked it up off a fellow on RG. He was the original owner who picked it up straight from BK.

Miss this thread,still got my mbw above with gen 93153 plus gen 401b end links and of course my gen blue dial 16613

 

[ronin007]

 

[JoeyT]

I love that dial my friend. Hope all is well

 

[Om3ga_guy]

Ronin that's some nice casework. The bezel and lug detail is great. Reminds me of my old gen 16710.

What's the bracelet? MBW?

Joeyt your build is exceptional man, it looks gen (because it is for the most part). The only detail you need to focus on is the endlink fitment. Not sure what your solution would be but the reveal and gap is too big brother. Looks like you need to push your end links up.

Here's an example of my last 16613. It had hollow end links but the SEL detail was bang on...

Here's what you should be striving for. Gen:

Thanks for the compliment bro, it means a lot coming for you. I know about the gap and I will address it somehow in the near future. I might just get the gen so this could possibly hit the chopping block. If that's the case then the next lucky owner will decide wether or not he wants to address it. The bluesy is just such a polarizing watch and it's the only Rolex that I really dream about. Don't get me wrong, I love all my watches but the bluesy is on another level

It's a superb piece indeed. Sel gap is another overrated issue for me, along with lume and bezel turn. Iv'e had a couple of gens that weren't perfect in the gap department and it never bothered me. A lot of people think because it's a Rolex it must be perfect. I know people on the gen forum who hate the "Rolex Rattle" but I love it. Everyone has there own take though.

There's close to zero inconsistency in end link fitment for the SEL bracelet models. Certainly no gaps on either sides of the endlinks.

Different story for hollow endlinks.
