Hi all.
I need your help. I want to use my grandpather's old Unitas 6497 in a project. I love the 6152 vintage case ( PAM 587) and the 6154 ( PAM 622). This is the easy way. Buy one of those and change the caliber with an A6497 decorated and put my grandpather's one in. So I bought a 587 rep. but...It is too big for my wrist[emoji34] [emoji34]

The other way is a 572 and swap the old 6497. I know I Will have to change, dial, hands and plexy but, is It possible?

I am hommage forum menber as well so I know the hommage way but there is no good 44mm case set.

Is posible to use a 6497 on a 572 case?

TY

Thank Dowbs. This is the same one as the previous post. I am trying to reshape one of this but love the finish and shape of the 572.

Ah no worries, I was just on Jackson's site and thought of your post when I saw it. Figured it might be the same case but hey, worth a shot right :)

Ok. Thanks again.
I got a sexy plexy for that case also but can't reshape properly. [emoji26]

You've just need faith! And patience! And beer! Lots of beer! :p

Best of luck, I'm sure it'll turn out great in the end :)

If I should try and shape a mini fiddy no CG into a 6154 I'd rather do it with hand files. Did you see the guy doing the same on HF? Maybe he can give you some advice.
