Wow, that looks like beautiful embossing on the case. Is that an actual Rolex box from the period?

yes, It is original box For Rolex Montilier 663 Extra Prima Pocket watch with gold filled chain in amazing condition. Quite busy at the moment. will try to take good picture of the movement next week

hard to find with right engravings... Montilier 668 more pieces avalable with right engravings, but 668 is much thinner then 663.

yours is amazing piece of art! the one from that box is a little different. 17 is on the far left end, Rolex engraving is a bit bigger. but model is the same. by mistake I bought also few 668, they look almost the same ))) after I finish 6152 two projects, I plan to make 2.5mm dial for mine 663. by the way, the one on my avatar is Montilier 664.

Today I received this Fielmann (a German eyewear company) presentation and/or storage glasses box (which isn’t for sale) incl. the glasses.

I am planning to upgrade to a Panerai box like this:

Removing the company’s logo and the magnets

What do you think? Any other ideas from your end?

Is the crown & guard going to be the latch to open the case? That is awesome!

Yep, this is my idea.

I wanted to do it also on this project but I decided to use a strap + buckle, see below.

8 dollar 50sents, with box and papers, year 1957.... unbelievable leather quality , running super good

I'm a shopaholic... why I'm buying stuff that I do not have time to work on?
