The last one is a project, but it will be a full blown SW incabloc rebuilt with gen parts soon.
all the to are nice ones, waiting for the 3. with gen parts to see I guess it will be a beauty too
It will be an extensive conversion, it's a nice orphan KW non incabloc alarm movement and I plan to make it a SW incabloc non alarm movement. Thanks to Erlendh for this $100 movement!
I made the intermediate bridge for the stem and setting parts recently, having it plated next week.

I believe that I bought some of the last gen parts available for the SF240 a few years back. Now that I also have found the high cannon pinion/hour wheel set I can build a helicopter! LOL!
Jeez that’s gonna be an incredible one.

Can’t wait to see more build details on it.

Completed the conversion of the alarm movement.

No parts were used from Jorge. The barrel bridge was an unfinished prototype, the hole for the setting lever screw wasn't there and the hole for the center wheel was only marked and not broached to size.
The intermediate winding wheel solution is my own idea and it works well.

The one in the middle is the one I added a little detailing to, the collar on the winding pinion is gone and the intermediate winding wheel is now working without the left/right plate covering it.

My parts cabinet is still extensive, but the SF240 conversion sometimes calls for some fantasy as well.
