    This one just came today, and the movement itself is in great condition. I know the dial is spotty, but I think the golden patina looks really nice in person.

    I'm not a fan of franken-watches, but this one will become a daily beater and a personal watch when I find a SS or Gold-Capped case. It really belongs in a solid gold one, so if the day comes when I acquire one I'll do the transplant. :)

    Just need the case back press that I ordered and it should be good to wear. Still waiting for a gold/capped case, but in the mean time it'll stay in this ss one.

    He has very small wrists, I'm guessing his thumbs are similarly under-developed :coffee:

    Yeah, I need to work out some more. :p

    I'm lucky that I got the case open!

    Kyle, take up hockey. You'll get forearms like Popeye from shooting and a grip that can pop tennis balls from grabbing the other guy's uniform when you square off. :D
