[erysatriadi]

Hi everybody, i am new to this forum but i've been HF member for couple of years.

I would like to share one of my build here. I was inspired when i accidentally found the pics of gen arillo in volker's blog

Now i am working on 202A build, i got most of the parts from this forum thanks RWI :thumbsup: i will post my 202A build log later

Regards,
Ery

Nice one!
What are the specs/part?
And did you do anything with the CG?

 

[erysatriadi]

Old jackson fiddy case reshaped, drill lug. Nightwatch dial, compression lug bar, brass crown tube, crown guard. I did some minor touch up on CG, i trimmed the corners. The movement is asian 6497. The strap is gunny arillo. The plexy glass made by quizats from HF

Thanks! Indeed, that's some helluva project!

I'm waiting for a Jackson's new 6152 case, got a LP dial with second from River, got a Molly 3602, waiting for hands from Getat (which I'm gonna age myself), and waiting for a couple of straps from Cbstraps and one from Bronzy (will see which suits better).
Projects are way more interesting than just buying a ready rep, imo

Great parts choice :thumbsup: do you plan to replace the CG with Nightwatch? A little bit pricey for me but it worth every pennies IMO. I used 3601 too in the beginning, but in the end i use asian 6497. I use my molnija in other build.

I'm a noob, this is going to be my first project, so the assembly and maybe some basic modding will suffice
But I'll learn and will improve

Love your build. Congratz!

Thank you ALE7575 but this build is still to far to be called as "proffesional build" tho. Credits should go to Nightwatch and Athaya who provides top notch vintage pam parts, my friend pvirus at hf who did the engravings and also peter gunny for this wonderful strap.

Yes i'll be happy to share my other builds here in the future and hopefully i can get critics and feedbacks from you guys to improve my builds :thumbsup:

How much cost this beauty?

How much cost this beauty?

If you use exactly the same parts i used right now it will cost you around 750 usd for the parts only (include the straps), but you still have to reshape and re polish the case and drill the lug hole with 3,9 mm drill bits to let the compression lug bar to get in.

That's a large chunk of money and a fair amount of work, I should say!
But a hobby's a hobby Wear it well!

And engraving the parts... a bit expensive, but the result is excellent!

Yes it is a lot of money for a construction worker like me, i have to save money for months to complete this project, however it's my passion, in fact i think don't have any other hobby :facepalm: so i think it's okay to treat my self sometime all in all i am really happy with the result, good or bad i'll wear it proudly and will never ever sell it
