@Emilio


It looks like the dial is 7 folds wide while that case needs a 4-5 fold dial.

Exactly! and that's why I need another case

It's meant for a desk clock. Sometime in the future

But......if you had a chance sometimes in the past to go to Firenze, you could find something like that maybe....?

It might be too big even for that

But that's a cool project

So close to the truth ....

.... looks good though, you can never have too much storage!

I decided to get adventurous,
I got this speedmaster snoopy, looks cool but the 6 o'clock subdial follows the time so I decided i would try to freeze it,
So out came the movement, top plate off, remove the big wheel but rather than just glue the little 6oclock pin i filed some teeth off of the big wheel that connects to the hour wheel as it's easier to glue that and makes it easier to get things back in the correct place,
3oclock chrono hand ended up not being quite straight so I'll have to try putting that on again at some point but i was more or less successful. Now the 6oclock subdial hand sits in the 12oclock position rather than indicating the time.

All these part builds I never got finished for one reason or another, or those I wasn’t happy with when I finished them.... there’s a few more than just these

That bronze with green dial is sharp.
