Yeah.. rushed it last night but today will work on the details. The cartel caseset is meaty so it’s great to work on if you are comfortable sanding it, but if you f it up it going to cost you much. Also need to drill the lug holes. Little by little. I am amazed that I was able to put it back together.. I usually mess up something along the way.
I need a new bezel because the cartel is way too thick.. any recommendations other than the WSO?

JKF and it can be bought off any dealer. The case needs its bit of work though.

That is wonderful now! I would chamfer the lugs, maybe thin them a hair more too. But overall pretty good!
What are the specs on your build?

Yeah.. on to the rest.. they are pretty chamfered but want to thin more. Polish and repolish to give it a nice well taken care of smooth finish.. any idea where I can find a good bezel that doesn’t break the bank (WSO)?
Specs ( should have done that first)
donor 1680 cartel/JKF case got a nice deal and didn’t want to wait until after CNY $130 shipped
Richi feet first dial— had it in my box for 2 years. I actually bought from his cousin in HK from eBay— they were $138 (I beat up the lume a little) ideally want a Ruby gilt dial.
Plexi from an eBay seller .. really distortion free. 1:1 to one per seller. $14
Crown came with watch.. looks great I think..
All in less than $300 more or less.. not counting the time I spent getting the shape of the crown guard
A little more thinning
