I know modded watches are not everyone’s cup of tea and usually are not mine either. However, I got my hands on an original 2915-1 movement that was good condition and couldn’t resist building something around it as sourcing original parts was out of the question.

So I was able to get a full case (case, bezel, case back) and dial from the newly released Ed White as the foundation of the new home. Found some broad arrow hands from the rendition omegas did a number of years back that would have been found on the 2915 as well. Paired it with this nice brown Genteel Handmade strap (great straps btw) to finish it off. Watch maker TM Watches did a full rebuild of the movement and put it all together for me.

It think it turned out quite nice and is a nice throw back to the original 2915 with the original vintage movement as the beating heart. It’s oddly become one of the favorites in my collection which was a surprise.

Anyway, thought I’d share!

I think that looks nice, can’t see anything wrong with a restomod myself.

Nice result. The only change I would have made would be to use an aluminium bezel rather than black anodised. If you’re going to all that effort to make a 2915-1 homage it seems odd to use the wrong bezel.

I thought about that however the Ed white case comes pre-installed with the ceramic black. I wasn’t sure if the aluminum would fit but will probably try it at service. More went with a 2915-3 build at the end of the day.

Needs one of the replica silver 1000 bezels. Looking nice otherwise. Better than having the movement sitting in a safe.

Where did you get the bezel out of curiosity and which one is it?

Bezel and hands are from the 3594.50 Broad Arrow , and i think there is one on C24 right now.
