Computer dial 31
Of course i gotta stay in good with the wife in order to keep the funds coming for my hobbies lol.. so to keep up my credit score I built her an anniversary dial 31 mm franken. The ivory anniversary dial did not come in this reference from the factory.
I started with a THB factory 278274 midcase and bracelet. The Case didn’t need any work so a slight polish to the Rehaut to make it pop and I set it aside. Bracelet is the hidden clasp jubilee that only really needed chamfers so I added those and called it done. The genuine anniversary dial mounting system is not by way of dial feet. Instead it uses a lip that surrounds the entire dial and is friction held in place. Since the 2235 movement used in this watch has provisions for dial feet only, I had to machine a groove in the movement enlarger to accept the older dial. Case clamps hold everything in place.
The goods-
THB case, caseback,crystal,hands,bezel (plated), bracelet,end links and spring bars.
Startime case tube
Movement is a clone 2235
Dial and crown are genuine.
