6152 project SF 240

[Dragonfly]

Hi guys,
Have been working on this one for some time, months actually. The parts for this watch were sourced from people in this forum. With exception to the motor. (SF 240 Angelus) which I removed from an old travel alarm. I had a swiss watch maker friend over haul the movment. I would have done it myself, but did not want to chance damaging anything. Parts for this motor are very hard to find. I vintaged the dial and hands myself, the case and plexi I aged as well. Parts from the following people made this project possible:

Case- DSN
Dial- DSN
Movement ring- Gordon (Nightwatch)
Movement bridge plate- Gordon
Hands- Gordon
Case back- Gordon
Strap- Peter (Gunny straps)

Thanks for looking any feedback would be welcome.

Beautiful Build! Congratulations! The only thing missing now is.. Wrist time!

Great looking build, you did a great work on the dial and hands and great display of skills from your watchsmith, the angelus looks awesome.
Considering this is such a high end build I would improve the CG, especially the lever shape, maybe use Gordon's, and while you're at it you could also order his T25 plexi which has I think slightly sharper edge.
And finally add a brass crown tube

Great build. I like this version of the movement because it has shock protection and the gold text.

You did a great job sourcing the parts and building the watch! It looks awesome!

Ive seen alot of "vintage" builds here, and to my admittedly untrained eyes you did an above and beyond job. Both the hands and the dial look great!
