Now waiting on the Hamilton 4992B movement I purchased so I can get this one built right!
nice one, you will use the Adrian flamed blue hands?
for my two pilot cases I changed the spring bars, coz the originals spring is very soft and ones the watch felt from my arm.
You have inspired me with your build!
Yes, Adrian is going to install the Hamilton inside this one, add the see through caseback and add the flamed blue hands.
Good call on upgrading the spring bars. Which did you use? Also installing a brown LACO WWII LEATHER PILOT STRAP
that sounds good, Adrian will do a good job
I saw you bought the strap in the sell thread here, a nice one. you was fast, to fast for me to catch it

I bought the spring bars by a watch smith here in germany. don’t know the brand but they a quality ones with a heavy spring load
