Pair of EGI's with 6497 and Sub dials completed

[Night-Watch]

The 6497 movement will fit inside the EGI case... but... the problem is that the EGI dial is too small to take a sub dial. In order to overcome this the inside of the case has been machined to take a larger dial. Heres what else has been done...

• Case completely aged front and back
• Lug Bars drilled out and threaded
• New lug bars made from 316 grade stainless steel (threaded with machine rounded heads)
• Case bored out...machined on the inside to take a larger dial and sub dial
• 6497 movement with swan neck and dagger
• Solid plexi (thick) machined and hand polished
• New Pearl made (on the bezel at 12 o'clock)
• New type dial with sub dial
• Dial - Resin filled aged with slight cracking

Cracking stuff, not a huge PAM fan but more of these vintage builds could yet bring me round. Very steam-punk like watches these.

Once again I humbly hang my head before the master. Night Watch, your stuff is just the most beautiful..... But that Egi, isn't it 60mm? Don't you have to be a gorrilla to wear one? Oh yes, I agree. For anyone who hasn't been there, check out Night Watch's web site. It is indeed truly amazing--but I can't remember the URL. How about posting it for us, Night Watch?!

I told you. Pretty humbling, huh!

.....and I just went to my URL index to revisit Night Watch's web site and I've lost it--and can't find it. Can someone please send me the link.

Thanks for that.... This evening I'm going to pour myself a dram of good skunky single malt and enjoy 'Night Watch's' sight again.
