I WONDER ...

Post by Chris13600 »

I wonder if something can be done with this kind of 8 days mouvement ? (6152-1)

I could be mistaken but I think the main factors are size. How many lignes is the movement? How thick is it? From my understanding any movement holder can be created as long as the movement will fit inside the watch case.

Wasn't the Goliath watch/movement some kind of copy of the American movements from back in the days?

Wow, Haha

I guess the answer is no then for this movement.

Unless you build a custom 6152 that dwarfs an egi!

there was a monster giddy case on eBay at one stage, capable of being modded to take these really large movements. Lee may have one...
