Hi all,
I‘d like to present my latest project that I‘ve just finished.
Before starting let tell you that isn’t a „the special one“ (José Mourinho) but just „the normal one“ (Jürgen Klopp).
What I want to tell you is, all parts are just simple and as I bought, no further work on them. The only exception is the dial which has been made by Belkin12.
- Watch case: AliExpress (47 mm)
- Dial: Belkin12 (39 mm)
- Hands: eBay
- Crown: raffles (had to use an adapter)
- Movement: 6497
- Strap: AliExpress
Next steps are going to be:
- 26 mm strap; from Vezire; already ordered
- new buckle; already ordered
- new hands: Athaya or NW
- a friend of mine will make ~649x stems with 0.9 mm thread for me
- and finally I have to find someone to work on the case.
Please find below some pics:
I had to file the adapter… to fit to case, movement and crown.
As I mentioned above nothing special for the specialists here in H-F… you guys are in the Champions League and I play (at the moment) in the District/Regional League.

Incredible build considering zero experience.
On my opinion the hour hand is too close to the dial surface. Hence, the only thing I would improve is CP/HW. Swapping it to H3 could significantly change an overall look.

How about the other way?
1.) reduce the backplate to a minimum or even
2.) cut the seconds pin, remove the backplate and fix the dial on the movement.
Would this work either?

You may face a stem alignment issue. There is not so much hight to play. If the current combination gives correct stem position, reducing the dial thickness will definitely result in offset.dj57 wrote:Thanks master.Belkin12 wrote:Incredible build considering zero experience.

Very nicely done DJ.
@Belkin12 , where could someone get their hands on an H3?
