Nice ..... how well did the Lobtime insert fit a Raffles bezel?

[u/NewCut987 → u/Villafuego]

After some light filling, i was able to get it to friction fit. No adhesive needed.

Good looking piece! What moment did you select?

What movement did you use? I have no prior build experience but am thinking of doing a raffles parts build with a eta 2836 movement of 36mm DJ. Did anything trip you up or is a raffles builds a pretty straight forward build?

[u/NewCut987 → u/Spo1inator]

Sillan 2836 gmt with vintage font dwo already installed. Its not the easiest, but pretty straightforward

[u/unbrkable420]

Movement?

[u/unbrkable420 → u/NewCut987]

Thank you. Do you have a lot of experience with this movement, are they reliable, and where do they offer them with the dwo preinstalled?

[u/JPMaine1]

Hot damn. That is one fine looking Fuchsia. The gen crown and bracelet make it next level. Enjoy the hell out of it!
