As a tribute to our fearless leader and his latest video: A Build-Up!

Some year ago, I bought a Swiss Legend watch strictly for the movement.  The watch cost less than the movement in it.  It was ugly as you might expect!


Time passed and I never found anything I really wanted to build up.  A period of boredom and lassitude struck and I needed a project while waiting for parts on another project.

 

To EBay and sourced a case, dial, and hands.  I should have paid better attention as the dial as it was a touch too large for the case.  I turned it down using a dremel and 400 grit sandpaper.  Worked very well and did not damage the dial.

 

Put it all together and here it is.

 

The more difficult task turned out to be clearancing the hands so they didn't foul.  Cutting the stem was no issue.

BTW, I have christened it the "TURDOR" courtesy of a typo when I was saving the picture.

You might be on to something. Turdor watches.. no worse than Virgin cola and FCUK fashionware, thought the colour might not be entirely authentic for a Turdor watch.  ~insert toilet humour joke here ~

    • Hello and welcome from Leeds,England.  Ask away. 
    • What cutter are you using can you video the action 
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement. 
    • if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
