Likes to make a hash of things seeks watches

[specialvat]

In my seemingly never ending learning curve I bought a bulova super seville for its movement (eta 2834-2) to drop straight into my Day-date project. Of course the two would never meet to form a watch as the genuine dials dont follow eta size day wheels and so on.

So not wanting to waste a good movement I bought a watch case set from the bay, I went for a pvd case because I seem to like collecting black watches ?

To make full use of the movement I ve decided to use the bulova dial but give it a bit of a submariner feel, I present to you the dial layout of the mighty

Day-sub:

Had to keep 11 and 1 markers as they sit too close to day window, I ll paint them silver anyway.

I will go for matt black dial colour with these hands

Maybe a bridge too far or as hublot like to say 'fusion'

Mechanical vomit is another term but lets see how it finishes before I label it by that term (however I ve trademarked it)

Cheers all

I am looking forward to seeing this completed, i wonder is you could get black back ground day and date wheels for that movement???

That would look cool, but I d have to contract out on the installation or I d be ruining no.3

Just looked at my supplier and the only come in white, but it would have been cool

That's going to be a sweet project, can't wait to see how it comes out

Brilliant idea mate,can't wait to see the finished product.

Just had a close one with the keyless, I had to dismantle my eta 2836-2 to figure out the issue. Fixed now, and fixed an old movement that had a keyless prob too.

Thanks for your support guys

Going to try and get a black date wheel, thanks Andy for the idea

Just looked through cousins and they have white or gold background with black figures but no black background

Being an "out-of-the-box" kinda guy, I like it!
