The Moonswatch metal mod aka Project Alaskswatch

What movement came with the Corguet? Maybe I'll just try a dial and hands swap before ordering the ETA movement.

Having a hell of a time getting the crown off the Corgeut stem. Currently soaking in WD 40- might be glued in.

@Eddio did you have similar issues? I'm so close to finishing...

Yes, that was horrible....

This is real cool.

It is. For for a little less than 100 dollars and rudimentary watchmaking skills you can have a neat little watch.

Going to do one on a Neptune next..

I mean- they almost give the raw materials away on AliExpress.

I wonder is it possible to switch the bezel insert from black to red?

Ingenious! The red crown was also a nice touch, which hints to the idea of red chrono pushers (anodized aluminum).

Hmmm im tempted by the red pagani for sure

I do have a quick question for you @Eddio ...where did you source the movement holder/spacer/chapter ring?

Between grabbing a pagani and something preset like this:
