I got that one with a broken staff that will be repared and now got this one. Now I've 2 616 and need to make 2 builds.

For the first it will be a NW 3646 shaped case. Need to get dial and hands.

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
