donerix Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 I have tried myself on a Cali project before and tore it apart again because I just didn't like it - at all. Then I picked up this Art-Deco movement and put it aside until I found a Cali dial with white lume. Today I got the movement back from service and couldn't wait any longer. I borrowed a 3646 case with from another dormant project, rummaged through my strap collection for that only Nato-style strap I have (Wotancraft nylon - thanks again Joe) and stuck it all together. By the time it was all done the sun had disappeared but I just had to take a few shots - so please excuse the grainy pics ( no flash, just 400 ISO). It wears actually quite comfortable on the nylon: But I am gonna make a nice vintage strap for it in the next days: Last, but not least: The lime shot: I have the real case ready soon and the movement ring is also ready to go - thanks to Nightwatch, so this should be ready to wear for my trip to Europe in April - "Last exit Erfurt" ... I hope you enjoyed it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwatch Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 That's a great looking combo there! What is the size of the watch? Is it a typical 45mm Radiomir? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donerix Posted March 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Since the consensus was that this movement should be shown I sat down this morning and installed the movement holder with screws and mounted a display caseback. As always you guys were right But now I think I have to go for a two-piece strap so that I can actually see it ...

StormTooper4 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Well done for putting the display back on , it would of been such a shame to keep that movement covered up. That is one sweet looking watch ST4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donerix Posted March 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 At last I decided to make a leather strap for it after all (with invisible rivets): So I could see the movement better: And it wears quite well: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
