Congrats, it might be a strange feeling getting this watch 3 years after when you think there's no way to get it ! A great surprise.
Could you please put a pic of the caseback ? How many n
Really nice project and nice thread with a lot to learn.
Also T, i think you choosed a good way. More pricey but original and with good quality.
I'm collecting parts to try to make a watch by my own and i was a little bit disapointed by the rep hands i saw. Your project seems to be useful and you should sell everything.
One more time great job G. !
It seems that the crown receptacle is soldered to the case, isn't it ?
For your choice, it depends of what you already have, but if i were you i'll choose the sterile dial/cortebert mvt combo. The case is too close to the gen for putting a unitas in it imho.
On the other hands, attempting to acheive a 1:1 cali dial is also a great great challenge
Hi G.,
i have them. I can send you a pic, so you'll tell me if it's ok with youre search. The luminous part of the hands is big one and takes close to the entire hand. The only problem is that hands are still attached on the movement and for a nOOb like me, it will take time
And of course i can give a huge huge bargain

It's maybe not a gen, not even a 1:1 rep of a gen but damn she's got such appeal. Like a 40 destro with a touch of historic/vintage look.
Like it and Panerai could take inspiration for the next SIHH
Fantastic ! Great historic one, perfect matching, everything inside ! Whaouu nice pics too. Superb caseback with a well and pretty engraved "brevetatto". Magnifique !!!
I hope i'll be able to have one like this one day ! These kind of pic/realisation make me keep the faith that's possible with hard work. Thanks and enjoy !
I'm also interested in the answer. I use to think that hands used in a 47mm watch could look amazing with a 45mm watch. As going deeper on the dial and indexes.
BTW, have you pics of your 45mm vintage radiomir please ?
