Wow this is fantastic- is his a river case? You should do a tutorial! Did you mill down surface, drill bezel through and weld pin at back to hold new marker in place?

yes it is the Rivers case. the bezel is not flat, a little conical, yes it is welded from back. I made new dial. one is gray now by accident, will try to make blacker another one tomorrow. also planning to make the caseback with display, will put Montblank engraved movement. will do some engraving on the caseback as well. now preparing oak and olive leafs ornament :)

Not a lot of hope at the moment, broken balancer staff, missing stones and missing gear on the sector wheel.

I don't have the case, I bought the movement only and plan to make it into a wristwatch.. It will be a long term project.
