  1. That will be a mighty fine watch when finished $1,500 + and worth every cent, it looks brilliant as it is. Your a bit good at this turning lark. :thumbsu:

  3. Update... I finished milling the dial and modifying the case to accept the movement.... Since the movement is Silver and the case is polished, I'm thinking of having the skeleton dial painted a flat gray or silver and have some fancy Arabic numerals printed in Navy/Royal Blue to match the Blue Breguet hands I plan on using. I took a pic through the stem tube to show that the stem will now line up with the crown. I had to turn the dial seat down about 1mm so that the new movement would line up! I still have to turn a ring for the back of the watch because the tourbillon movement is much smaller than the ETA 6497/98 movement that this case was intended for...

  4. Thats a very nice Tourbillon mov. you have there and should make a really special sort of watch, can't wait to see the finished article. The Chinese are on a learning curve at the moment and seeing that they are very hard working people they will eventually be No.1 in most things. It's nice to see the mechanical watch still going strong after 400 odd years, not many things last that long.

  6. Mostly dive watches. My wife bought me an Omega SMP in 2002 which is my favourite. I work in diving industry and a lot of nice watches to be seen there. I used to work for Stolt Comx Seaway, which was the same company that assisted Rolex with the Comex Rolex

  7. Hi Don, I look forward to seeing the finished items, particularly the Tourbillon. The Chinese Tourbillon movements were good enough for the British Horological Institute to commission them to commemorate their 150 year anniversary. That must be a good recommendation. I purchased a version of that watch about three years ago and I'm well pleased with it.
