I believe it's a Molnija 3602. The watch is a very similar build to one he did before. Here are the specs from that watch:

- Cartel 47mm no Crown Guard case. Reshaped to look thinner with softer edges. Modded bezel from inside and outside. Lugs holes drilled to accommodate custom made spring bars
- Double dome 40mm 2,2mm thick crystal. No fish-eye effect
- Modded spring-loaded screw-in crown (engraved, 45° inner and outer chamfers, polished, o-rings replaced for better water resistance
- Modded and engraved solid CB (My watch is open CB)
- Custom made glossy black radial brushed dial. Solid brass. Gold texts and markers and ultra-glossy cream lume
- Custom made 0.3mm brass backplate. Stamp 6154. Soldered dial feet for 3602 movement
- Custom made brass double pencil hands which perfectly fit 39mm dial. Minute hand exactly points to minute markers. Soft matte finish. Cream lume
- Completely serviced (repaired, washed, oiled, re-assembled, regulated) Molnija 3602 movement from 1970s. All the wheels are radial brushed. Bridges chamfers polished. Bridges brushed, engraved and NickelBright plated
- Custom made bronze movement holder and tabs to firmly secure the movement inside the case
- Custom made fat lug spring-bars with SS springs installed
- Custom black vintage leather strap. 26mm at the lugs and 24mm at the ends. Thickness is about 3.5mm. Size 130mm x 80mm
- 24mm screw-in (removable) thick polished buckle

all do you think it's worth upgrading to ETA Valjoux 7750 or asian movements are reliable enough these days?

Beautiful! 380s are hard to find these days.

Do let me know should you able to convince Belkin to build a 45mm Radiomir. We can do a joint order to entice him to do so.

I will be especially interested in one with a reliable movement ( hidden behind a closed caseback) with a simple two lined dial such as 210, 1334, 1335 and 1350.

Love this idea.

I want to get a watch just so I can get the stamp that goes with it.

 

[marcsp2675]

Now I can say I’m Belkin PAM380 owner!

That's just perfect.

Here is his version of the Pam605 that he build for me, this is 47mm version with a plexi.

a true work of art

 

[marcsp2675]

Does he make custom straps to go with his watches?
