I flattened the movement ring so that when the case back was screwed in it pushed tight the movement to the front of the case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnG 41 Posted January 9, 2011 I have an Illinois movement, it is very pretty, but yours is REALLY beautiful. Really really, the decorations, the swan neck, and it is MINT. Great job, I have yet to complete one of these conversions but I have five or so planned and pending. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
