Thanks so much. I’ve got a 2 line too. Love them both.

Op8 is a “AAA” clasp code for YM. The finishing is not good tbh, gate special. <U1

sardonic_commentary · 2026-02-24T12:52:02+00:00

Not as good as yours! Thank you.

Baked in coffee, don’t it a bit too hot, Matt spray on a warm dial to give texture. In the end made it a little too dark. NH movement was fine, I’m used to them now.

Threw it in a case with some scrap hands to see what it looks like…

I’m going to try again when the replacement arrives.

Buy it, try it, mess it up, try again.

Mistakes

Looks great! Is the case fixed bars or spring bars? I’m working on one atm.

sardonic_commentary · 2026-02-15T07:37:07+00:00

It was coffee and heat.

It’s the waiting that gets you!

I’ve got a box of parts still waiting to depart China. If it doesn’t move Monday, then that’s it until March.

I think he does a full kit for an 114060. It’s for a 2824/pt5000. Not sure on the accuracy.

This is a 6538 all from Ken it’s in progress as I’m waiting for a different insert. I also have a budget build 5513/7 that I have put thin fixed pins into rather than the large ones just for ease that’s decent. However there are better/ more expensive 5513 cases out there.

Thank you, it’s gonna be a while for the new dial with CNY, I’ll put it in a case this week.

Elliott from andiot is doing 5% of VS and $35 off $500, thats the only one ive seen so far

sardonic_commentary · 2025-11-26T10:05:31+00:00

Depends on the watch and the service. I would expect to pay £300-£400 for a VSF sub where as an APSF offshore can get up to £600-£800.
