Pihlippe 1,258 Posted April 10, 2014 Homage has not really been my cup of tea in the beginning, but when I came across this case, made of brass, at HomageForum, i had to try myself . After several days of searching and reading, I bought the dial from River. I have used the 6497 handwind swan neck movement and the strap is from Uwe at Timebandit's. Then remained only to put it together I think the result got pretty good, so it might not be the last ....do need some vintage hands though Some pics... Thanks for looking.

edwinowl 180 Posted April 11, 2014 On mine they were bridges that were taken from an old Molly and engraved by a guy over in Indonesia. I just changed them out. Look great though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
