Based on a TWF sky dweller.
-Reshaped, polished and rebrushed Gen like
-Bezel, crown, markers and hands palladium plated
-DG 5833 movement with new internals to speed it up to 28800pbh… highbeat sky dweller👌🤩
- month indicator repaint for brighter white and red color
-sunken date problem fixed by reworking dial and movement holder
-switched cyclops to a much better one with ar coating
-rework the ratchet wheel to make the rotor super silent.

Hope you like it!

That's the one I have. It's been running like a champ for quite a number of years.

OP, apart from your awesome build: You do have chosen a stellar user name.

This is the second time that I see somebody converted the movement into a high beat. I'm curious what needs to be done to achieve this.

Anyways, thanks for sharing, and to my friend @P..DR..D : Thanks for tagging me - might have missed it!

Thank you🙏
The name says it all…ya‘ll know that its true!!😅
Actually its pretty easy. You just need to find and get a 4813 movement. The Slum highbeat version of the 2813. The 5833 movement is based on the 2813 as well. So switching internals is allmost plug’n play. You can use all drivetrain parts from the 4813. Balance wheel and hairspring also from 4813 and the balance Bridge from 5833. The hardest part is getting the main bridge/automatic back on top without damaging anything. All these tiny little pins need to slip in their jewels at the same time. After you managed this all you have to do is to adjust the balance wheel and enjoy your highbeat Skydweller 👌
