Guys Over the last several months I have been having built a couple of really rare pocket watch movements into wristwatches and we are getting very close to the finishing line. One is a 1/4 Repeater that is simply stunning and I posted some photos of her mocked up however she needed a better case as the lugs were not great, the second is now finished and will be sent to me in the next few days. It is a very rare and early day, date calender movement on the reverse and a normal watch on the front. I hope you like her, once she gets back I will provide more photos. AJ

I hope you guys all have a really great day. I'm off to Covent Garden and South Bank in London with my family so think its a good outing for the Bronzo today. AJ

Red on black looks pretty good. AJ

Guys Just ask BK for a replacement they are under $20 and use a tiny dab of slow setting epoxy and it's done! No need to send the watch away or spend $70 plus! AJ -
Top guys Alex and John, they've done several for me. AJ

Richard is right, lots of 'rooms' behind mirrors etc but no really good quality reps. AJ

I like the way she looks after polishing, the brushed look is easy to reinstate with 3M cloth if desired. This is one great watch that can have many looks/finishes easily. AJ -

Single AR on the inside I believe, no masking required. The pearl and crystal have taken all the abusive in the process totally unmarked. AJ -

Autosol is a metal polish, simply put on, polish and buff with a clean cloth, any polish will do I guess. The pearl has been subjected to the entire process and still looks great. I did lose the black minute track markers, however have easily reapplied those with a permanent marker pen. AJ -
It a Swiss movement originally fitted into the EL case with brand new PAM bridges curtousy of Marlin. AJ
