this one was one tough project with one hangup after another! it's a cortebert 616 fitted into a vintage 47mm case with plexis installed. took 2 months to finish as parts are not so easy to come by and i had to do alot of fabricating to make everything work.. the dial especially came out awesome as well as the hands. the case was put in a jar of coins and shaken for about 20 minutes to create a worn vintage look on the finish with clean plexis installed front and rear. the stem sits so low that it wouldn't line up even close to the case hole so extensive mods had to be done here including milling 2mm off the inside of the bezel and modifying the crown itself!! just doing some final tuning now so i can ship it out to it's lucky owner who sent me a few days ago a lemania 8 days movement for a 44mm custom PVD case with clear back and plexis are going in.. and a rolex pocket movement for another vintage 47mm pam..... work work work but the end result is priceless!

Flav, that's amazing, great work. Thanks for sharing.

The dial and the case look about 30 years apart, but the watch is still a beauty!

There is quite a flurry of vintage pam work lately, good to see.
