Although I don't have the time right now to be fully back on here, I am in the process of building something.... Here ya go:
Budget 6542 - should be done in the next couple of weeks. (small GMT hand missing, 2mm lug holes, seconds hand with longer tube, SK crystal, maybe a yuki rivet)
And of course, the chamfers
I have to note though, that since this is the first I have done on these, I can do better and I will do in a future build.
Budget wise, I would say that this whole build cost about the same or less as the seconds hand of the latest build from @TheSociety

At the end of the day they are all toy watches. That is a really nice toy. Where did you get the insert?
