It’s just the OG 55mm behemoth of a LACO Type B Beobachtungsuhr I think.

Let’s see when it shows up.

The seller says his grandfather brought it home from the war but that’s all he knew. He was going to ask his father more but hasn’t gotten back to me. It’s coming from New York State.

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.

Which case are you using for this project?
