KBH 7 Posted August 20, 2009 After seeing the thread about pocket watch conversions, I wanted to try one. I found a decent vintage Eta 6498 based Arnex to practice on. It's temporarily living in my Pam 183 case. I need to order a case from Getat and I'm really not sure. I like the SS but think PVD would look good. Also with the gold movement I might like gold case. Help me decide guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_Monkey 0 Posted August 22, 2009 Stainless. The dial and hands seem too dressy for PVD and I just don't like cases that pretend to be made of something they're not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PatronSaintofChainsaws 1 Posted August 23, 2009 Domed acrylic 47mm Radiomir case for the vintage appeal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 996 Posted August 23, 2009 Other, Pams should have crown guards. Rose gold tho. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KBH 7 Posted August 23, 2009 Domed acrylic 47mm Radiomir case for the vintage appeal. Unfortunately the dial is too small for the 47mm case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sconehead 5 Posted August 23, 2009 Rose gold radiomir is the way to go imo... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted August 23, 2009 I think Rose Gold it will be. Unfortunately Getat only has the RG in solid case back. So I either put on a ss clear back or don't get to look at the movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
houndoggie 58 Posted August 23, 2009 I think Rose Gold it will be. Unfortunately Getat only has the RG in solid case back. So I either put on a ss clear back or don't get to look at the movement. I like the look of the SS more. Plus, I think if you slightly distress it, it will go very nicely with the slightly aged dial and hands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted August 23, 2009 Well I just bought one of each case, RG & SS. After I decide which looks best I'll start looking for another pocket watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted August 23, 2009 Other, Pams should have crown guards. Rose gold tho. Col. That's the problem. It would look too much like a Pam, which it isn't. Radiomir case is a little more "generic". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
