It’s good fun. I’m enojoying it enough to make the same watch in srp775 flavor with a new bracelet.

What crystal do you have on your 777? Looks great.

Harold’s (yobokies) bubble boy. Additional mods by Harold: white kanji date wheel (although the color match is just slightly off) and and lollipop hand (which is a dead ringer on finish and oem lume)

Thank you.

Going to do the same with a srp775 except the olongapo will be SS with a mix of SS and brass badges.

Pretty cool. I've read that the edges of the top of the bracelet can rub on the lugs of the watch. Any problem with that?

Yep. it does rub.

Not sure if it rubs when worn of when I put it on the dresser at the end of the night? Need to be more careful.

Figured I’d post the wrist adjustments as there are 3 as opposed to the original 2 I thought.

If you pass the clasp through the large opening you have 2 adjustments small and medium:

If you pass the clasp through the small opening you have large setting:

Note: You have to seat the bracelet end just right when it’s well underneath the adjustment “teeth” otherwise you run the risk of bowing the steel at the top of the clasp with the pressure of not being correctly seated correctly, therefore warping the close dimensions of the clasp. I did this once and thought “oh crap” as the clasp would pop open with minimal pressure, but managed to re-bend the clasp back into a solid pressure fitting state.

Here's the new one with brass 82nd Airborne All American "AA" and cross rifles. It's destined for a SRP775 of the same flavor. :grin:
