olympusdaytona8 4 Posted August 1, 2023 I've been on a wrist watch to pocket watch conversion rampage after realizing that I can wear them as a pendant and am looking to convert a rep Speedmaster once I get a suitable donor. Thoughts? (Gen behind a 935 Silver Bezel for another project, and a mocked up rep image edited over a potential donor case photo from ebay) I have a drill press on the way and will be adding pushers to my Daytona build when my extended buttons show up! If all goes well the Speedmaster should also be as functional as an ST19 based rep can be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadPickle 2,747 Posted August 1, 2023 please stop! they're just hideous . I can see the concept here, maybe the classic Heuer dash racing stopwatches or wwii bomb timers etc, but just chucking a rep into an old pocket watch case is pointless. why have you moved the crown position? surely it would make more sense to adapt pocket watch case to accept the rep watch stem and crown? just my thoughts 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GingerApple 7,288 Posted August 1, 2023 One man's rubbish and all that, don't listen to the naysayers. I think they look tremendous as a pendant so please keep posting more 'wristies'. Taking one for the team here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
