I'm really struggling to find a watchmaker here in Spain to clean,lube and regulate a 3601,but if and when I do is it possible to make the movement shockproof?

Just don't drop it

I personally have not seen a 3601 converted. That said, I do have a few watches without shock proofing. They keep good time on the wrist as desk divers and daily wear.

I use different watches for when I do yard work or wood working

I'm usually okay,but this one is special,a birth year movement almost to the month. And knowing me this would just be the one I'd bash. Although I did notice some Pavlov type behaviour the other day,I've started to automatically turn my wrist when walking through doors.

Looked online and saw a few posts about retro shockproofing but have no idea what a Moli would need and if so availability. I've a couple of old quartz beaters I use when tinkering with the car and the ubiquitous G-Shock.

To add to what others said: if you want a shockproof Molnija, you need 3603. But these are usually ugly - basically unfinished. There are some 3603's with CDG and blued screws, but they are hens teeth...

Post some G-Shock pics on the perpetual wrist shot thread! I love mine.

Done,one of many,possibly too many.
