I realise I didn’t phrase that too well [mention]NortON[/mention]. The strap arrived today from Kostas. The watch head arrived recently as a Christmas present. Fantastic 6152/1 build with an angelus sf240 from [mention]RideInStyle[/mention] via [mention]Nightwatch[/mention]. Looking forward to being able to fit the strap properly and start wearing it.

I haven’t been able fit it properly on the wrist yet as I bent one of the lug bars trying to thread the strap tubes (object lesson in going slow and steady). Hoping @Nightwatch has a replacement. Anyway, a couple of shots...

wonderful

Try to align the bar, you may not need to order a new one

Thanks [mention]Emilio[/mention] and [mention]NortON[/mention]. It is a special piece for me and a lovely Christmas present from my wife.

Very nice. May I ask what movement is beating inside? If it's a 6497 I ask myself how is it possible that the small second is so far from the rim of the case.

Hi [mention]insideo[/mention], no it is an sf240 movement. I was looking for it to be historically accurate (even though the display back is just for show)

Thank you, that helps

A Seagull ty2555 has a similar spacing between the seconds hand and center CP.
It's smaller too, so you might be able to build a watch with a similar appearance but a different movement for cheap.

I didn’t know that. It’s good to have other options.
