I have had this idea for at least 8 years, now is the time to realize it.
The plan is to build a wristwatch with a KW SF240 and I am doing this for two reasons, to honour Tan who gave me the movement and in the spirit of HF. Well, I had to use some hard to find parts, but it is genuine as it is now - you have seen it in the movement thread.
If I manage, then it will be a reality in the late summer or early fall.
Old idea, new build.

Re: Old idea, new build.
Before I used my KW240 for parts I was thinking of using it as it was in a watch build. Never got that far excited to see what you have in store!

Re: Old idea, new build.
I will use a set meant for the WL, easiest. My only concern is that there will be a crown, it would be so much cooler if there was nothing on the side and I will see if I can use it for a winding/setting key combination tool.
