flavor flav Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 99% done! just getting it regulated and a few small bugs worked out. this was a rolex pocket watch movement number 666 fitted to a 47mm vintage Brevet 6152-1 case with plexi front and back. this one was the hardest projects i've taken on. i had to strip the movement and shave down 2 mm of the diameter, modify the keyless works, retrofit the pam crown to a stem that doesn't even come close to fitting, stretch the hour wheel to fit the pam hands, crimp the hand tubes, custom mixed vintage superlume. i had to also cut a spacer to fit the movement and mount securely in the case and do a full service clean and lube on the movement..... not for the timid!! the result? i love this watch! too bad it's not mine ....AND HOLY CRAP THIS THING IS LOUD!!!
