Some people... I’m not naming names (cough [mention]Emilio[/mention] cough) don’t seem to sleep.

47mm egi case, Ross dial and hour hand, Molnija 3602, I tried to make some tall tube hands using some brass tubes I bought from eBay but it didn’t quite go to plan so I threw it in a drawer that must’ve been 4 years ago, then work just took over (I run my own business) and I forgot all about it same as all the others... now I’m determined to finish them all... wish me luck

beautiful watch

Today’s project

wow good job, looks amazing

Had an issue, 2mm dial, 6497 movement and a blue 3646 hands for a Cort 616.

Start thinking about the issue and here’s the result:



Tall hour wheel from a 6497 that takes a 616 hands.

Next cannon pinion.

From the old pocket watch cases I’ve around the place, those with lid I removed the tube that opens case front lid.




By hand I’ve used a file to adjust the tube length. After achieving the size I trimmed by hand one side from the outside and broached the opposite side.

I was measuring with an original 616 hands and a spare H2 hour wheel.

Attached the tube to the wheel using press fit. I was reading around the forum about attaching tubes to the hands, and notice that people talked about pressure fit. So applied the same. To attached and ensure it is straight, I used a spring bar that as the size I need, again a broken part that was lost in the drawer. Just need to broach the blue hands a little bit.

The problem is the cannon pinion. Not sure own to pull that one, but I’m thinking on it.

Sure! The strap is the only one I have left (I will get a new one in the future). It's a mix of green, blue and brown.
