mjmurphy926 Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 I just bought this on ebay. About $100 shipped. I'll gut this and use the case only. Hope it's decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I can put a manual movement in it. I also hope I can find a sapphire crystal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old skool Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Looks great. I am planning to buy a PVD 45mm rad. Of course Davidsen is priced at $420. By the time you get the Swiss 6497, and a sapphire crystal and change out the dial, and possibly the hands, what do you think your savings will be?

Paneraibob Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I hope that the PVD will be ok. From the pictures it looks more like paint with some gaps But let us know how it is after you got it safe at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmurphy926 Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I hope that the PVD will be ok. But let us know how it is after you got it safe at home Yeah...I saw that too. I'm hoping it's either a bad example or at the very least, just on the strap bars (lug bars? I don't know what to call them) and that the actual case is decent PVD. The only reason I was willing to try is that I bought a PVD Luminor off the bay (different seller though) and the PVD was pretty good. It had the wrong brushed finish, but the actual PVD was nice. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya OS...If I wanted a nice complete watch, I probably would have done the same thing. But I'm more interested in playing around with this case and parts in my parts bin (OK, not really a bin...actually a shoe box). I have a sanitized 6947 w/dagger swan neck I've been looking to use. I don't even know if it will fit in this case, but I'll find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
