What are you working on now?

Hey all!

I’m going to be converting this into an LP dial, and this watch I got from Viking Essence. But it appears to be a 3 piece case set. How do you guys recommend I get the front bezel and crystal to unscrew? I already removed the patina. Thoughts?

That looks a lot like the San Martin version. If it’s the same case it isn’t a 3 piece, but it is a really good one! Where did you pick this one up?

Some Taiwanese based company. Viking Essence. Trying to find the link again.

Looks like 45 minutes of work.

Considering the state of the balance wheel, the broken shaft, it still takes a little more time..
Yoda, please contact me by private message, I need advice, thanks:)

Pressed bezel. Remove the movement and press out the crystal/plexi and use a case knife to remove the bezel.

Got it!

Now to get the right dial. Belkin is making me a blue LP dial that I’ll try. Really wanted a cream 372 style dial to put in it….

Oh that’s a beautiful movement! Thanks for the link to that watch, they’ve got some cool offerings on there.
