Gents, I'm considering going gonzo and building a Big Crown from a Minh case. Problem is, if I use a 1030 movement then I'll never USE the thing the way I want to. I'll baby it and that's not my cup of tea.
So I'm considering sacrilege: A Minh case, top notch dial and hands, and an ETA movement.
I know, I know.... it's a cardinal sin. Tough.
My question, can it be done? Is there a low beat ETA movement and ring with approximately the same dimensions as a genuine 1030 movement?
Thanks gents!
