This case came to have solid bars installed, but i couldn't help but see how thin i could get the case and still fit all the guts! so i had some free time while i was waiting on some things to come back from the engraver...
so i just messed around with this, im not a big fan of the bts vintage, but this one needed it!
the case is less than 5mm thick! the movement had to have the outer edge cut to fit the case back flush... the bezel obviously was cut down, and the whole thing reshaped. now its not perfect and wasn't intended to be, just a fun vintage piece. i didnt even bother polishing it.
the dial is a standard rep, with some engraving i was playing with as well as a polishing idea i had it needs different hand, but thats what was in the scrap box! not really any lume to speak of, just some fill to match the hands.
the lugs, well, like i said it was a quick and dirty job, no measuring involved in this whole build. it was all eyeballed, ill make another and take some time doing it so it will come out better!

Tony, i'm sorry...










I really like the crown the best, i turned it out of a piece of stainless stock, knurled the barrel pressed in a brass tube and threaded it to fit the stem, i like how it snugs up inside the case! it was my first crown from scratch!

i couldnt take it being all nasty, it had to be polished up...
