Hey folks, I'd like to share a watch I put together for my Brother's birthday.
The movement is a pretty old Unitas 6497 which I picked up from the widow of a watchmaker a year or so back, the plates have been skeletonised and I'm pretty sure this was a once off job by the watchmaker.
The mainplate is brass, and the decorated bridge plates appear to have been plated (quite crudely, when inspected under a loupe).
The movement is keeping great time now that it is serviced.
I made an attempt at a logo using the film-free transfer technique Mark has used in a couple of recent Youtube videos.
The logo didn't adhere very well to the dial, not particularly happy with it. In person and to the naked eye it looks pretty good I think.
The case is a 41mm case I picked up from Ofrei, who I sourced the dial and hands from also.
Hope ye like it!
