    Another great video: thank you so much. The Nato strap looks cool, but it makes the beauty of the movement less visible, which is a pity.

    Nice! I still have my great grandfather Hamilton 912 pocket watch from 1932. Still very clean on the inside and looks very close to that one. Runs very well, too. Thanks for the video!

    That's a really nice watch! It never occured to me to put a pocket match movement in a wrist watch case, but the end result works. Bonus for the Flieger A dial too

      I don’t know where the case from. It’s not my watch. But on eBay you can find cases for this particular movement.

    Isn't risky to hammer down the double roller, i nover seen someone hammer down just hard pushed with the stakes, or this type of movement required hammering down ? I mean if the double roller craks you'll develop beat error . I'm not criticising just curious. Great work btw😁

    You can buy one just like it on E-Bay for just under $1000. The case is about $400. This watch looks a tad too good to be from the 1940’s. Nice watch though. Great idea.
