I think you are right - I’ll check with Adrian to see if it will fit.

Using parts from 4 movements, I’m assembly a movement for this case (was lost at the post office for 4 months, for it back today).

It’s alive and ticking :)

Side by side with its brother :)

Talking about brother, this will be a gift for my brothers birthday next Friday.

[mention]Emilio [/mention] I think he will.

Now I’m just wait for [mention]straps68 [/mention] straps to arrive and it’s done.

I really thought I couldn’t pull this up. First the case, dial, hands, stem and crown were lost. After that, and we are talking about the first kinetic movements, not having parts to complete this.

But it’s done and I’m really happy.

Just finished sanding and polishing a plexi dial :) I love plexi dials and how the numbers look suspended in black water.

+1 build looks great you should do a build thread
