[Alou]

Actually its not bad idea ,also a nice block of natural wood will look nice with the "waters"of the wood!

[Alou]

thanks friends

@Yoda I like my builds new and with the ages of wearing it to come vintage

@earloflondon
I wish I could handle a 618 but the hands are only available for eta 6497/8 so I choose this beauty one of kind eta 6498

I thought it was an angelus at first sight, can you believe that Then I realized it was something else. Is it really a 6497? What a nice movement it is. Wear it in good health. We'd like to see a wrist shot too

it is a 6498-1 with a 3/4 bridge, hand engraved balance cock made by Jochen Benzinger. I got it since 6years if I remember well. Indeed it is a beauty.
wrist shot will come soon, still have to fit the stem of the movement

Perhaps you can soon enough move to the famous German Watch makers in Glashütte!

[Tanukjaju]

Good idea!
Question: Have you considered adding supports like this item has?

Actually I have to add some holes and perhaps supports so I can work on the dial side of the main plate.

[mention]Alou[/mention] i have 1 word.... quarantine

I will probably make one for the 6497 once I get this one figured out.

My wife is not amused

Found something that would fit my girlfriend's wrist to mod or not to mod ? What do you guys think

I would leave it as it is.
If you decide otherwise and given that the watch looks pretty old, make sure, that the dial and hands do not contain Radium.
