    Thanks to archer and Tom Dick for helping me out with some parts and the rest of the forum as well for pointers and comments along the way.

    It all started when i bought a MD146.017 on ebay. I set out to build a stainless steel version. Now, 1 year later, I look back on the journey itself and think "it was infact wort it" Some parts were hard to find, other was not, some were expensive some was not... In total with a full service included it landed in about 3000$. Extremely happy with the result. All NOS parts..

    And since im an idiot, i have a spare cal.930 and dial laying around. So i will build another one. Just need to save some money so i can afford it first..

    Enough talk, pictures:
