    Looks fantastic. Great to see someone using their modding creativity to give a new lease of life to this model of seamaster, rather than stripping out the 861 to build a speedmaster (which seems to be pretty common, and more lucrative, these days). Having said that, if anyone's got a spare 861 movement lying around they aren't using... ;)

    More on this, as after all, what else have we got to do...

    Here is what the movement was headed towards - triggers broom turning into a shovel...

    However at the moment I would prefer this as is rather than a Japan look alike.

    The point about it is that it is a collision of circumstances, and produced something that I shouldn't like, but I do.

    Nice switch-up :thumbsup:. I wonder if different hands would make it easier to read the time, like black, or white batons, or would that just make it look totally confused?
