I found an exhibition caseback from another case that fits the threads perfectly, wish the window was a bit bigger though.
I may have to change out the crown & crown tube, not sure if there’s enough room for a 1.2->0.9 adapter.
How nice!!

Start new project based on Athaya 6521/1 case ( old one) and just preparing Molnija movement to Rolex vintage look
Start with this :
And find Rolex bridges to exchange but it was a lot work as it was not 100% compatible and need to work on it …

That looks terrific! How hard was it to source the Rolex bridges?
