Cool, like that dial! I think brass is coming in style you know, more and more... To answer your question, The approach taken on this project was dis-assembly, grinding the edge of the base plate around the edges to fit and smoothing it, servicing, and reassembly. Seems to be a common procedure with the 917, but as with all mods, the sky is the limit on options. If you had a machine shop you could probably grind out the case too, but not certain. Also added a new main spring as well, a new white alloy that came pre-greased. Runs nice now.

Thanks

Hey RWG, Haven't really posted much here so I thought it was time to share Please tell me what you think

I'm jealous. Beautiful job.

It was an old sales post here where someone sold one who transplanted a swiss 7750 into it. Do you know the dealer who sold it with the real 7750?

Thanks KB:) Can't get the link to work though. Would you mind re-posting it?

Hi all at RWG. I had heard some time back at another forum about someone who successfully swapped out an asian 7750 for the actual Swiss version of that movement in the DeWitt Acedemia Sequential Chronograph rep. Does anyone know how to find that discussion here? I have tried to look before with no success. Maybe someone here would know which movement to buy to do the actual swap. Hope someone here knows. Thanks!
