What hands and engine? Can we see a naked pic of the dial?!
I think I build it with Unitas 6497, because all my other builds have Cort 616...
I want a reliable workhorse here :mrgreen:
Hands then will be Tourby thin pencil.

Wow :clap:
But why do you need to enlarge the inside for Unitas?

The diameter for the automatic movement is too small to take a Unitas.

And the Unitas is also thicker, you have to put it deeper into the case, therefore you also have to cut the enlarged diameter deeper into the case.
And you have to cut away a part of the caseback for the Unitas to fit..

So some machining is needed to switch the movements.

Didn't know that its that complicated with the 47mm Egi...
For what movement are they made?

They do come with a small Chinese automatic movement.
I have no idea how they are named, I put it into the trash on arrival of the watch :-)
