What to do with a spare 8215?

Hi everyone, I got an 8215 to make an Explorer 1016. I broke the movement by striking the balance with a slippery screwdriver, couldn't get it to work again, and bought a whole new movement to finish the project.

This week, however, I decided I may as well do some learning -- I took the movement apart, reseated the balance bridge, and ultimately replaced the balance wheel. It's now working like a dream.

So! I now have a spare 8215 which can be made into a watch. I'm not the biggest fan of these smaller watches, but what are some nice vintage designs I could buy a dial for and rock with this movement? All ideas are welcome!

Thanks!
