ATLAS GMT “Gulf Boy”

This time, I made a GMT Atlas Boy with a pop color using the NH34 movement.。phantom needle、I wanted to create a genuine feeling like SBSC while adding interesting elements such as Lefty style.。I took apart the junk atlas and refinished it with a file and a leutor, and polished the side of the case.、Reinsert the diagonal hairline into the rug、I tried center polish on the breath。(When、Even so, the finish is quite rough.。I got tired of polishing on the way。) The inner circumference of the bezel was also cut a little so that the insert for the boy can be inserted.。

The chapter ring is also shaved from the one for boys to reduce the thickness from 2.2mm to 1.8mm.。I put a piece of plastic bottle cap as a spacer around the circumference.。

I don't know why I get so excited just by changing the number of needles from 3 to 4, but this time there was no interference.。dial first、I didn't fit in the move, so when I checked it carefully, the needle hole in the center was thick with GMT.、When I widened the hole with a round diamond file, it fit without any problem.。I made the last one with momentum, so I shortened the winding core too much and there is a problem with operability, so I'm waiting for the arrival of a new stem for NH34 to fix it...。

    1. SHUKU's、Good evening! Thank you for your comment 😊 SHUKU-san also had a lot of troubles with Atlus! Atlas case、how to remove the bezel、I used junk materials so that I could disassemble it without hesitation in order to find out what happened to the one that spins inside.。That's why the one that spins inside is the first、I pulled it forcibly and it broke、I know the structure。The chapter ring is also fixed in the gap between the bezel and the case.、In fact, I moved it a little and loosened it and tried again until the scale was at a reasonable position!
      Due to scraping, the paint cracked and peeled off a little, so I painted it with a magic marker.。in the middle、I felt nostalgic for MOD that does not process parts。I'm sorry for putting my hand first、Contribution of NH34MOD by SHUKU、I'm waiting!

  2. new Year、Happy new year。
    "This is a MOD" and it's wonderful
    think。😊
    The inner bezel clock must be disassembled
    There is a mechanism that cannot be imagined
    NH34 swap for MOD activation
    I think it would be nice if we could connect。

    May this year be a good year for everyone!

    1. S-Osaka's、happy New Year。thank you for your comment!
      I agree、You will learn to disassemble! Sometimes I can't disassemble it too much and put it back...💦
      I hope that the NH34 movement will be a year where mods will be excited 😊

    1. shin's、Thank you for your comment! Perhaps Shin-san has skx023, so he may have guessed、I didn't write what Lewes used in this post、Looking for a crown size that can be used with a winding core for NH34)Because the size of the one was just right、I have procured aftermarket parts on ebay that do not have a core.。If you can help me with a little reference 😊
