Buren Grand Prix into a wristwatch - originally uploaded on Sat Mar 23, 2013 10:39 am
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is not a homage, so I'm puting it here... (sorry for the quality of the photos - I'm still learning).
Case: Alpha 1993 titanium 44.5mm
Movement: Buren Cal.30 (Grand Prix) ~38mm dia
Dial: Stock, "sterilized" by me (IRL if you look very closely and catch the light correctly, you can still see the outline of the numbers sideways
) with all the blemishes of the age
. Was to big, had to file it down slightly (the minute hand barelly fits, even with the nose bent down the distance to the case is still something like 0.2mm)
Hands: stock blued
Stem: modified 6497 - turned down using needle file and a drill as a lathe
Movement "ring" made from a piece of expired credit card
Those are nice hands. Where did you get them? I have been looking for something similar that would fit a 616.

You are well known and I clearly remember these builds, thanks for uploading these here!
I especially remember a tiny quirky movement from way back, the one in your avatar.

These are very nice and unique builds, thanks for bringing them here. The B&R with deco movement is so cool

Hey ‘it’
.... lots of amazing builds there!! I have to say that the build with this movement was just a little extra special IMO. I would be proud to own that!
