Just put this one together. Ok, so this project started out as an MBW 1680. I used the MBW case for my Snowflake project with the intention of selling the MBW 1680 movement (2836) dial and hands. I had a TC case lying around and decided to make a go of the 16800. I think the MBW datewheel was modeled after the 16800. They are very close. Search for the dial was a bit frustrating with trying to find the right size and availability, but I finally went with bk’s “flat s” dial from the TW sub. Getting the 2836 to fit the TC case was somewhat arduous but it’s in there! I know, this is far from accurate but I liked the look of the old-school datewheel so much that I decided to run with it. I’ve included a gen photo for comparison that apparently had a new “Swiss Made” dial installed. Anyway, check it out.
