·A story!
At one time I bought a pocket watch with a luminous black dial. Decent movement, kept horrible time. Eventually I decided to make it into a wristwatch if I could. Case, hands, and dial were sourced from Otto Frei. The movement, genuine Unitas 6497, was serviced by a local CW21, Rolex-trained watchmaker, and he assembled it for me. Keeps decent time, a pocket watch movement in a wristwatch is not a stellar timekeeper. The case has mineral glass front and back. Luminosity is pretty good.
Price with slighly used tan strap is $400, with shipping by USPS Priority Mail, Insured, about another $10 in the US, overseas Priority International, registered. Paypal only. I have other straps (Staib mesh!) so if you want something special... I might have it. Strapless is same price.
I don't sell a lot of watch but I've sold trumpets and my eBay feedback is 100% (same nickname).
Let me know if you have any questions.
