unreformed66 Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 You have to sign up to look at their site, are there any other pictures of this watch you can post here? I'm curious to see what they've put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automatico Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Cases are available to make these watches using a 'Hunter' style 12 or 16 size vintage pocket watch movement. The cases sell for $100 to $250 USD and movements are $50 to $250 depending on grade and condition. A finished watch will usually end up costing $300 to $500. Much, much less $$ to do it yourself.'Hunter' case = flip up cover on the front side, crown at three o'clock and seconds at 6 o'clock on the dial. Example = eBay item 351594732834'Pendant' style = common open face pocket watch with crown at 12 o'clock and seconds at 6 o'clock on the dial.Omega conversion...eBay item 191750883109 Agassiz (Longines) conversion...eBay number 231768152531Examples of conversion cases...eBay numbers 331699025370 330703904511I have never put one together but have an Omega PW movement that would probably fit into one of these cases, just never tried it. American and swiss PW movements are usually slightly different in size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolex5512 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Why are you promoting this site so much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unreformed66 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) Why are you promoting this site so much? I was wondering the same thing myself. Quite frankly the watches you've linked to here look like they are WAY overpriced. And I don't trust any "retail" website that wants my information just to look. I always think it's a phishing attempt... Edited December 7, 2015 by unreformed66 typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
