    Started as completely original but now the culmination of a project that started about four years ago:

    No real changes to the movement, but taking advantage of the modularity of the original design, and a few beers for ideas! Not everybody's cup of tea but definitely one of a kind.
    Happy Sunday

    as opposed to vintage.......the 125 is from 1973, movement etc. from then. Peculiar modular design, and hence versatility for some different interpretations. Around here I am still not sure what constitutes modern or vintage.

    Not post-farming....just did not finish my thought......the parts that hold the movement are recently fabricated (modern), so that the movement module can plug in. Allows for use of straps or other bracelets on a previously integrated design.

    Yes, this is why I said, "Modern what?"

    Modern Franken? No, It would be vintage. If I understand correctly the case is not Omega, if so, I would not call it an Omega watch. However I do not condemn your creative freedom.
