I just got the movement in the mail today… Its running strong and keeping good time… It was sold without a case so I thought it would be a good candidate to convert into a wrist watch… I got it for a steal and it looks as good in person as it did in the pics I saw online… Here are some pics of what I've done so far. Still working on spacers/ gaskets to secure the movement in the case. I'm gonna try to remove the text on the chapter ring which will sit between the dial and crystal. After that, trim the crown stem and It will be done… So far I really like the way it looks in a case from an old gutted watch that I had lying around.

Nicely done, I did a old Arnex 6498 a while back. More people should do these projects !
