Love the dial - it has a bit too much patina for my tastes, but the design is gorgeous...

Great stuff mate, I presume you made the dial yourself?

thanks, yeah, pretty much. The antique finish I did, and the numerals and lettering I had

done at a dial refinishing place.

It's beautiful!

 

That movement is pure sex... :dingleberry:

that's a pretty result.

 

problems to fasten the movement to the case?

thanks all.

 

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.

Great watch I have the same movement in an old pocket and I would love to build one like this or in a PAM style case would you mine sharing where I can get a case for a project like this?

 

Thanks in advance,

Getat and Jackson Tse (both trusted dealers here) can supply PAM style cases.

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.
