I ve just dismantled an old watch (my first rep) to get parts to glue to the dummy plate. I just need to order the watch now, I will drill holes in the dummy plate and stick the screw heads to the second plate. Then mask stripes off on the dummy plate and spray it with automotive spray to get geneva stripe effect. Or completely [censored] it all up and be in a very bad mood, either way worth a shot.
Congrats Samurai, great review. I m just waiting to see what the dollar does over the next few weeks before I buy, unless I win big at the Aintree races next week
I m close to buying it, just need to work out how to improve the missing gear issue. I m thinking fastening a dummy wheel to the blank first plate, and perhaps drill holes for dummy screw heads to sit in. The small things always bother me.
With a bit of work we could improve this watch ourselves with either transfers (stickers) or trimmed down gears, providing there is enough space between plate and dial. Looks promising then
