More less same design as 6498, small differences on yoke spring, no centre jewel on main plate... Interesting is a fact that both ratchet wheel screw and crown wheel screw are left hand threaded...
Here it goes, ready for bath...

Looking good, shampoo next!

Yup... Now it's in ultrasonic, then goes into good old Elma

Aha, you have one of those ancient cleaning devices! I use ELMA 1:9 directly in the ultrasonic and then I wash and dry on the air drier.

Is this device moving from step to step or do you need to time it?

Yes, I have one for regular use and the other for backup... Ultrasonic is great to get rid of many layers of dirt and grease.. However, rotational cleaning removes everything, it really makes everything shiny and clean. Tried various methods and this gives the best results.
I use el a 1:9 too, greay stuff.. After it, T km ae some more bath into isopropyl alcohol and dry on elma heater...
Here is elma concentrate

Just was curious few minutes ago... Noticed sticker on machine, painted with white color... Used cotton swabs and acetone to clran it.. It is not Elma machine but some company I've never knew that they produced such machines...

It did look like an ELMA, which it is!

Nice conversion

I've been there done that (almost exactly) in 2016
Almost exactly the same story: I bought a Stowa pocket watch with a 498 movement to cannibalize the movement. But then it felt wrong to destroy such a nice pocket watch, so I converted it into a wristwatch...

Is a good!

[djolemag]

So you know the feeling I was in a big doubt, simply couldn't cannibalize it...
Great Stowa, btw
