29mm / 13 Lignes Movement Inspiration?

Decided to go with this 42mm case with a small display back so the movement can still be shown off without showing the movement ring. Now to find hands and a dial.

Found the perfect hands, a gold Mercedes set and a tiny hand for the sub seconds. For the dial I’m going to go with a milsub style dial with a 6:00 seconds dial. Thanks for the help everyone!

Still waiting on other parts but for now I made a movement ring and house the movement in this case with a leftover 3646 crown/tube from Adrian. The current hands are from the original pocket watch and the dial is something I had laying around.

Wow this is moving along rather quickly.chrislovessushi wrote: ↑March 29th, 2020, 1:19 pm Still waiting on other parts but for now I made a movement ring and house the movement in this case with a leftover 3646 crown/tube from Adrian.

Any mock up or pics of the dial?

Here the finished version! Really really happy with this one as I’ve been wanting a field watch for a while. My apologies to Albatross for ruining the beautiful lume job on this dial, but I had to remove all of the lume and paint when I decreased the diameter. Relumed it then aged it to hell. Completed with some Ranger style hands. Some time I may take it all apart and age the case or just let it happen naturally. For now it’s perfect to me

Yeah I can’t decide if I want to do it artificially or just let nature take its course and wear it when I’m workingTanukjaju wrote:Let me plant a thought..... age the case to match the insideschrislovessushi wrote: ↑April 25th, 2020, 1:04 pm Here the finished version!
