nicewatchdude Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 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.

Toadtorrent Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Very nice. These Hamilton movements are a straight fit in the Radiomir case correct? Are they a Size 10 movement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicewatchdude Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btocamelo Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 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. ST4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
