sometimes you make me wonder were you find all the energy......is there a secret in the Swedish woods ???
But sorry i laughed when i saw Emilio's post!! Not with you of course , I like the way he always has the "proper" answer for most posts!

Thanks! I understand your question completely. It's in fact pretty simple, I see something interesting and pick it up for a future restoration/repair. I still have a lot to do...
Some 14 years ago I picked up a load of things in Denmark and hired a truck to be able to haul it all. I work on one piece at the time and take my time, mind that I have all day these days and I can do a lot in 10-12 hours a day without being tired. There is plenty of room for good homemade food, a cigar and so on in between what I do.
I have an attic and a cellar full of things which I plan to do something with, I am starting to fear that I perhaps won't have enough time left for it all, I need to discuss this with my daughter....but I will keep at it.
Spring, summer and autumn is usually a pain in the ass, because I have less time for the projects. My summer house takes time...
Oh, I seem to have a room at the summer house as well now, it was meant to be a place for me to work on watches on rainy days and now it is cluttered with stuff, like my shop at home.....
Guess I am a random hoarder.

I started with the more risky corner as I have to preserve the CG seat.
I have to lower the top corner a bit and break the edges

Same measurements have 45mm 3646 and cartel 44mm luminor.

I will have a batch of mini fiddy caseback soon, display and solid.

Not bad for a watch I got for free.

Funny I got the same for free, fix it for my son. I had to remove the fadded numbers and paint on the bezel.
