donerix Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I originally just bought this to use the movement (Molinja 3601) in another vintage project, but when I got the pocket watch I really liked the face (despite the scary letters) and decided to ad wire lugs, a different crystal and turn it into a wrist watch. For now on a Wotancraft Nylon (which actually goes quite well with it IMO), but I will make a ncie leather strap for it next week. Enjoy: And it wears very comfortable on the wrist: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Beauty Donerix! But why the mirror imaged numbers on the inside of the dial? I wonder what the purpose of that was? Nice looking vintage just the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anguz Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Uh...does that really say SS on it? Though it's a fine looking vintage watch, the SS part creeps me out...just my opinion of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
