Trying to step up my game on this build. I still have a lot to learn and I learn from my many mistakes along the way.
I Bought the case with a different movement, dial, and hands in it.
Will use those parts in a couple of different builds.
Would like to know who made the case the seller did not know.
Good thing about a used case and plexi is they already look aged!
The dial and Hands I got in a trade with erick510 not sure where he got them from but he applied the lume.
The pictures show a display and solid caseback. The display one I received with the case the solid is a DSN caseback that I prefer since it’s a lot thinner and more gen like. I would like to put the (C. C. NO. ) Writing on it and should it be stamped or engraved?
The strap is a old thick Gunny With a GPF buckle.
The 6497 movement is out of a old pocket watch that I cleaned and serviced. I’m only half way comfortable with manual wind movements now anything else is out of my league currently.
Any comments are welcomed. Here are some pics.
