Thumb, index finger and middle finger if you ask me

So this is a case I’m doing from zero. Inspiration from ZRC and this Zenith



Satin finish on the side with polished chamfer. Still deciding about the dial but that blue dial from belkin12 gave me ideas.

Movement can be from Hamilton 917 and 6497. I’ve both so will decide after cleaning and polish a little bit more.

Good job, I look forward to see the finished result.

Excelent!
Could you please tell us more about the base case and detail the reshaping?

Is this the ali case? Great build there. Where did you get the dial from?

I think the case is not from Aliexpress. The case from Aliexpress has driled lugs and the dents on the bezel edge are farther apart and shallower.
I think the dial is from madasboo, but I am not sure.

I assume it's a Rduane case with a little aging?

Yesterday I changed the crown (incl. tube) to a more appropriate one on my marriage watch. Nothing earth shattering for many of you but it was the first time doing it and without any special tools.

Splendido!
