The images did not post from what I can see so it is OK. If you want me to delete the post anyway I will.

Mate, where did you buy it?
Looks like a very nice case.

Thanks

It's a build I did with all gen parts from Ofrei and a Omega seller on ebay. The insert and springbars are from WSO on ebay. I have Omega springbars, but the tolerance is so tight I gave up till I find some time to tackle it again. The movement is a gen swiss ETA 2892A2 21 jewel high beat 28,800 from David Yurman. I had a detailed write-up thread here on the build progress with plenty of photos, but after the dust had settled from our mishap my thread was lost to time.

I'm still looking for an excellent condition gen insert. The WSO one is ok and is a snap in same as the oem, but the PIP does not sit flush, nor does it illuminate. When I messaged WSO about the PIP they said I could buy one separate from them...pitty, but it is what it is. I'll find one soon. I know another seller on ebay who can get the whole gen bezel assy, but $$$$.

I still have all the photo's from the build, maybe when I get some time I can create another thread recapping the build process. This has been a holy grail for me since 2003.

Cheers for the reply.
I need the case and was hoping for the reply like "-It is a Dhgate $150 special" :D
No wonder it's such a beauty when the case is gen :)
Nice build, would be great if you find some time to repost the thread, very interested.

Yes, gen bezels on ebay are crazy exp. I do have 2 perfect gen bezels, and 3rd gen where the insert is scratched but the pearls is still good. Will keep those 2 for now, PM me if you want the 3rd one for peanuts.
