vintage pocket watch movements in the radiomir case set

[nicewatchdude]

Hello again RWG. Just wanted to show some work.

This is the 45mm radiomir case. Movements were sized down to fit,

meaning the base plate was reduced in width. After that, everything

fits perfectly inside really snug.

The 917 has dark lume in the indices and hands

The 921 has a water based gold metallic acrylic mixed with lume

Although they do retain luminance at night, my canon doesn't catch it

The dial is a type of faux finish I've been experimenting with.

Very nice. These Hamilton movements are a straight fit in the Radiomir case correct? Are they a Size 10 movement?

Hi, they are a size 10 movement but they will not fit into a 45 mm case without trimming the

sides down a little. They will however fit right into a 47mm case set and the open face case

back shows the movement in it's entirety.

what do you mean by "trimming" the base plate?...turning it on a lathe?...or, filing the edge down by hand? any photos of it and the caseback open? thanks

I'm by no means a vintage Pam man , but I like a good movement when I see one and those 2 are awesome.

Great idea an execution. I'm really feeling the dark one. You should be right please with those 2 really well done.
