here I am with my next "work":
case 6152 (Aliexpress)
Molnija 3601 movement (cleaned and serviced by me)
Bronze hands (made by me)
Stainless steel dial (made by me)
Genuine Italian leather strap (all made by me)
now I just need to color and finish the Dial and assembly

Nice! That Molnija looks almost like mine... does the bridge for the balance fork also have βearsβ for positioning? How long is the cannon pinion? How old is it?
Sorry for that many questions...

yes, he has "ears" (if I understand which part you mean)
the height is the standard of 3601...
if you need I can measure it... but you can not put dials thicker than 0.80mm
this is from 1950 and it is really well kept

Great thank you! Mine is from 53 and has the ears as well. My watchmaker has more than 100 molnija but none with ears, all with pins.
I asked for the cp because mine is very high and does not end as a tube but has a solid top. We wondered if it had been replaced at some point...
I like your dial as well... I thought of making one that has βΠΏaΠ½eΡaΠΉβ written on it

I Have one like this but its gold plated,its extremely accurate!Size a liitle small for today standards and if you have a big wrist like me.
Yes i am not a fan of quarzt myself but if you want an accurate chrono these movements are superb!
This and the Seiko Olympic chrono were considered among the most accurate chronographs.
The rare Seiko olympic chrono 7t42-7a50 made for the Barcelona games in 1992 is still unbeatable with 1/100 of a second timing worlds only analog with 1/100.
Only thing i didnt like was the gold plating!!.
You can always perform gold plating at some jewelers shop... Seiko GP cases are well known for thin layer of gold...
7t42 is good movement, very accurate.
I don't like quartz as I said before. However, having quartz with 13 or more jewelsis very different situation...
