Amazing work, and stunning dial painting! Great photos too - what is your setup?

Wow that is a great summer watch, and fantastic photos! The 113 has been on my list for a while - where did you get yours?

Best bet is probably ebay, although I'm not sure how often you'll find just the balance. You might need to buy a whole movement... I don't think the well-known online parts shops sells vintage Hamilton parts.

Woah, looks complicated! I'd have no idea how to work that thing, but its great you know what you're doing
. Keep us updated! -
Good eye! Actually the dial is painted to look like paint has worn from age, but you are right that the hands are too low. The canon pinion is pretty short on this Molnija, and just recently the hour hand started rubbing against the dial, and now the hour hand is off from the minute. I plan to fix this soon!
Great pic, but it looks like your hands (especially the hour hand) are rubbing against the dial because they are installed too low on the pinion. Eventually, if you do not have them reset higher, they will remove all the paint.
There is little you can do about the paint that has already been rubbed off, but at least you can stop additional loss. -

After a couple months of collecting parts and getting everything to fit together, I present my latest build: 201/a. This is my first Pre-V build, and although I have some future upgrades planned, I think it looks great as it is now. I have two straps for it, a black Dirk, and a brown Orloff (both fantastic straps). This is already one of my favorite watches! Here are the specs:
- 111J case
- Goin Pre-V CG
- T48 crown
- FGD dial (lightly lumed)
- Helenarou Pre-V hands
- DSN caseback
- Swiss low-beat 6497
- No-AR Sapphire Crystal
- Dirk black strap (also Orloff brown)

My first 6152/1!
