That's a clean looking Hamilton

great couple, both are looking beautiful.

I’ve always wanted an ATP military watch collection. The hands are included but in a bag. The strap it’s the original one. The movement doesn’t look to bad.

Sound interesting! Will this build of yours a 1:1 build or a fantasy piece?

Fantasy.
I like the look of vintage Rolex but not the size. So I’m using a modern case, reshaping it, and making a bezel.
Going for a mix of these two:


I’m using a Cali dial that I think is for an old bubble back. I’ll be adding the chrono scale outside of the railroad track which will work out great since the dial is a tad smaller than the sub dial it is replacing.



Hands from raffles



As far as the -ish part I don’t at this time have any plans for adding the chronograph pusher at 2:00. If I do it will obviously be non-functional. Unless someone has a rarer than hens teeth movement they would like to donate to the cause.

Thanks for sharing this extra informations!

I totally agree on the look & size of the vintage Rlx! The dial choice is good too but thinking what technic will you use to print the scale onto it? Transfer prints?

I have too been doing some thinking on this homage build for awhile too. As for the movement uses, which I think is the closest in function and look. I have conclude the omega/lemania 865 or 920 are the more affordable and accessible one!

Am interested in this Zerographer build too but I am more of a dreamer than a doer on this! LOL .

Hope you'll have fun building this one!

Seiko also has the 5719a monopusher chronograph. But I’ve never seen the movement for sale without the watch, and a whole watch is $2000 plus.
