Here is the final version of a recent build

Using the mid-case reshaped in recent log, completed in destro format as originally intended. Overall build-up a very wearable 15.6mm

Ingredients:

jackson "old case" reshaped
jackson cg sterilised with athaya lever mod (and glue/pin mod)- destro version
necky 6mm thick plexi reduced to 4.5mm overall (shallow dome) with surface crazing
southy mm black dial
nightwatch fiddy hands vintagised
dsn unengraved solid caseback
nightwatch brass movement ring
panatime spring bars
undecorated roland kemmner seagull 3620 (6498) with secs pin shortened
timeband strap with sewn-in gpf buckle

This was conceived as a daly beater to be worn on left wrist: no problems with crown and hand. The overall build-up is very shallow and is compatible with shirt cuffs etc. Build-up could go less than 15mm if you use athaya low-profile bezel but shape changes quite a lot as a result. The big brother to this is a proper "thicker" build in progress with nw cg and thick solid caseback etc.
