Have begun to built a squeleton 4130 movement, task is hard, but if successful could be a cool Daytona

Here’s pics of the first batches

At this time need specific tools for the finishing of the work.

Will post others pics with train wheels bridge install and works in progress.
If you have some good ideas for the finishing of the parts, here welcome, was even thinking of sandblasted it and after paint it with a metallic paint or black one.

That is impressed to see. But you sure the steel plate has enough "meat" to contain the stresses of moving gears?
Anyway, good luck with your project. You are skilled!

Yes bro not a problem, I could dismantling and assembled eyes closed the 4130, means I really know it very well, to made it restart not a problem, but I really want it to be a eyes candy one, I think I have maybe 1 week more job on mainplate, especially finishing job that’s really a nightmare, and bridges and train wheels bridge, need to be awesome looking and perfect, and this is the job I am the most afraid,

You did a amazing work.
Can wait to see the final result.
You’re on the way of “la montoya”

What is the plan for the dial ?

Thanks bro, hope I will succeed, here’s the mainplate with train wheels bridge modded fit in, but still need work to be done on it,

For dial at this time don’t know, there are many aftermarket ones listed here and there, even for case don’t know what I am going to do, thinking’s shave crown guards to have a 6263 or 6265 looking case, but as said really don’t know at the moment.

I am trying to go step by step, it’s a really hard project, so one difficulty at time,
