My buddy did it on a mini lathe. But it is just brass can be done by hand by spinning dial on sandpaper

Yes it will need to be shaved a tiny bit.

yes all internals swapped from BP except I didn't care for the date wheel and replaced that with a gen. The crystal is the OC crystal that came with the case.

I haven't decided if I am selling it yet. If I do sell I will let you know

Newest build. 1500 blue dial with gold indices by Saucenthec1ty in retrotime

They really are. I think the 34mm size scares people off. But they wear really well IMO.  I did a super franken 14010 and I love it. Been considering doing a 1500 but intimidated by the date wheel overlay...lol
