One day I'll plump for a high end big crown, but for now I'm having fun welding modding my cases. This one is a silix case with lots of meat slapped on, took quite sometime ... Yea yea a lot of work you say, but for me that's half the hobby  and enjoyment in creating a unique watch. 

The specs.

silix big crown case+ steroid welds, drilled lugs, chamfered.

Athaya v2 crown

clark plexi/ shaved down considerably 

serviced ETA 2846

hr old minute hand / Clark hour/ oshk big ball.

HR dial / relumed and made tropic gloss with 6 hour marker slightly lighter.

i wanted a single line BC not seen many/ some would say it's 'wrong' but Meh.

brass bezel

raffles insert

ofrei pearl.

fat bars

few pics, I'm no photographer though just iPhone shots in afraid, tried to capture the gloss.

I bought the bezel off eBay, It could be, I've never had a Hr BC so I can't confirm, it was much bigger though, had to completely redo on the lathe .

here are a few progression shots, in the end it looks easy.. but yeah it's a big job :)

thanks !

I'll give that a try,  I did end up taking most off the top to make it slope down the case, it's the area around 45 degrees up of the lug hole I really didn't like about the case, maybe my v2 will be better . Thanks for the eagle eye ;)
