slim destro fiddy

[mellons]

Here is the final version of a recent build

Using the mid-case reshaped in recent log, completed in destro format as originally intended. Overall build-up a very wearable 15.6mm

Ingredients:

jackson "old case" reshaped

jackson cg sterilised with athaya lever mod (and glue/pin mod)- destro version

necky 6mm thick plexi reduced to 4.5mm overall (shallow dome) with surface crazing

southy mm black dial

nightwatch fiddy hands vintagised

dsn unengraved solid caseback

nightwatch brass movement ring

panatime spring bars

undecorated roland kemmner seagull 3620 (6498) with secs pin shortened

timeband strap with sewn-in gpf buckle

This was conceived as a daly beater to be worn on left wrist: no problems with crown and hand. The overall build-up is very shallow and is compatible with shirt cuffs etc. Build-up could go less than 15mm if you use athaya low-profile bezel but shape changes quite a lot as a result. The big brother to this is a proper "thicker" build in progress with nw cg and thick solid caseback etc.

Mellons is your crystal fitted flush and level or is it an optical illusion caused by the shape of the plexy?

Flush

Optical ilusion then, I think exagerated like in the third pic i quoted as it is so close in the forward edge looks so much taller than the sides
