Ebay 47mm case and dial. Dial refurbished.. UT6497 swiss just service. Ataya old hands..Only lacks the strap.. :wave:
Clean build! The movement is cleaner than most UTs I’ve seen!
Thanks:)
But screw for lugs is very poor quality.. I'm not satisfied with 2 pices lugs and screw.. My next plan make new one pices lug and welding it.. In that case I will change mineral glass with plexi.. But I'm not sure is good plan, because is this case is very cheap, and I don't have experience with soldering..
Is the slot for the head very wide? I used to have a narrow but really blunt screwdriver for that purpose. It helps
:shifty:

I use blue Loctite to secure the screws.

Thanks Yoda:) But screw for lugs is very poor quality.. I use little oil d5 but screw thread is very rough.. Unfortunately I don't have thread tool for make good thread.. Tomorrow I try with stronger screwdriver..

I have the same case. I kept the mineral crystal but I removed the blue AR. Looks much better without it.
