  6. Some More Pics Of The Wm

    Man... That movement is just :wub:

    I may be mistaken, but the recessed pin fix may be a simple matter of simply cutting down the minute hand to allow it to sit a little lower... At least, I thought that this is what davidsen did on the 009's with the Swiss 6497's?

    Heh, heh... The 'brushed' finish was actually done with one of those drywall sanding sponges :lol: I used it to scuff the case up to give it that worn, aged appearance:

    I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the WM Kustom you got from Spags. Personally... I LOVE those fat hands!

    I have some hands here that came with my case kit. But... Perhaps we should talk.

    What color dial do you have? In my possession is my black dial... And also a white dial, though it's seen some better days.

    The idea here is not something like the 47mm models with the Moljina movements and the riveted straps, but a little more civilized and smaller-wrist-friendly watch, such as a standard 44mm Radiomir case with display back...

    I have to concur- I myself prefer the smaller 45mm Radiomir case due to having smaller wrists. This one fits me well, but I never seem to wear it...

    For what it's worth, the dial on this one was originally meant for a 47mm case. It was trimmed down and fit my 45mm Radiomir case instead (fits pretty good too with good position on the indicies). WM provided the dial and caseback only- The case was from a PAM183 rep, and the Swiss 6497 was sourced from a different watch with the seconds hand trimmed off. So... It may be possible to custom build one (similar to what I did) if you can get a hold of the 2533 dial :)

    This one will be the ultimate, I could not wait for a bridge or rotor...

    Only the movement is not gen rolex part?

    That's correct- The movement is a standard issue 31j 36.600bph El Primero cal. 400 from an Ebel- Chris hooked me up with this beauty! :wub: I had been waiting and holding out for the right movement to come along for my case- Lots of 17j models came and went... But when this one surfaced, I knew I had to jump on it!

    Oh... And the dial is a refinish on a genuine blank! Other than that... Everything else is gen :)
