Bought one from Tat and can't complain about the price. Though you get what you pay for, I sent mine out to have it upgraded and fixed. Mine leaked too. Cases made to fit the 6497 and come with Asian version which works good.

That's a nice set of projects. Please post more pics and tell us what your plans are.

Oh Gioarmani, you hit a high note for me
I have a chance to buy a real one with papers but no box. I've been on the look-out and just came to this forum to find a lot of good information.
Thanks again!!!!

Interesting project indeed
By the looks of the pictures, I would say the watchsmith's case is more of a stainless grade material. The cases of the 40's were made of a stainless variety close to Staybrite steel of course. 316 was not a common case material due to it's being fairly new and because wartime made these materials scarce. As far as the process, it was not driven by a series of cams on a lathe. The cases were run on a lathe using a radius tool, then ground using a rotary table. The cases were then hand worked to a great degree and this is noted near the crown tube region. THAT was the process without question. I would be interested to see a closer view of the lugs and crown. I'm in as long as it's not a 1 year ordeal!!! Has the watchsmith produced a dial yet?

Got to agree with Tanya on this one, a 112 would be a better choice for me at that price. $3,800 is not bad for mint but consider the long-term collectability![:)](https://rwg.cc/datastore/emoticons/emoticons/default_smile.png)
