I would prefer a FOIS case. Lets see what this year brings ::stirthepot::

Does this mean.... we'll see the same mod with FOIS case from you soon™? ::stirthepot::

Wow, that vintage straight lug case must have cost a pretty penny.

I am normally not one for mods but this turned out very nice. Kudos to your leap of faith.

Unfortunately not! But all bets are on as to what Omega will put the 'new' caliber 321 in 😉 ...

I fully agree. Straight lug speedmasters are much nicer. Any dial would be better imho. Congrats!

You Sir are a God in my eyes. I’ve been thinking about a similar conversion with a panda dial. May I ask where you picked the case up from?

That looks fantastic! I have a feeling that when I look down at my Speedmaster now, I'm going to think: "you're fat!"

Were you able to make the modifications yourself, or did you seek the assistance of a professional watchmaker?

Not what I'd call a "tiny" adjustment... but the end result is well worth it! Congrats! 👍

There is a midcase for sale in the parts for sale section. You’d have to confirm with @ext1 but per his description, I believe it’s all you need to make the conversion.

Because people are asking me... a lot...I'll just put it here for everyone to see:
Here is how it looks with Tachy

Here is how it looks bezel-less. Looks like one of those Breitling reverse panda chronos, honestly kinda dig the look.

Wow, this is an impressive mod! I would like to see it on a flat link bracelet, it would be even better IMHO.
