Which movement is going to be embedded?
ETA/UNITAS 6498 or ST3620?

Thanks Friends:) Movement ut 6498 with blue screw, serviced with new mainspring:)

Good choice, reliable workhorses Unitas/ETA are. These can easily be regulated to be within + /- 0 seconds a day.

I agree with Yoda, an exceptional movement, when it is clean has a great reserve and precision.. Very easy for service.. I like the ut 6497/8, 6325, very much.. 6497/8 quite often in pocket watches in my country.. I especially like the hammer finish

Very nice.
I see you had to downsize the dial by about 1mm or so ...right? Did you solder new feet to fit the 6498?

Do you want to swap?

Dj57 thanks, great observation, I had to reduce the original dial by 2.1mm.. It was originally 41mm, I reduced it to 38.9mm. Very neat work:) I left the feet original, because the hunter variant is 6498.. Tomorrow I will probably assemble everything and hang it up photos:)

Yoda, thank you for your kind offer.. If you like the mechanism and if you have a nice plan with it, I will send it to you as a gift.. Just let me know the details and address in private messages:)

I have a hammered finish to swap for the brushed you have.
