Hey guys!

So I have a spare cal 1012 laying around and I was thinking on sourcing parts for a dynamic build or of some other watch. I want a watch that is period correct for the cal 1012 I'll be putting in it. Anyone got suggestions on what dynamic case reference I should be looking for/ dial/ hands. Maybe another reference number I can throw this movement in?

I know the cal 1012 ain't no 321, 861 or even the 56x series movements, but it will be a great side project! All suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

 

Here's a pic of the spare movement:

 

The problem with these projects is that cost-wise they are not too advantageous. Nowadays it is hard to get a NOS case for less than 120 Euros. A dial would be about 80 Euros; the bracelet for these costs not less than 80-100 Euros, and you would be hard pressed to find a genuine one for that price; then add plexi, hands, a correct crown and a service, and you are probably better off buying a complete Dynamic 1012.

In any case, the reference for the case is 166.175

You could as well try to complete a Cosmic 2000 with that movement:



Of course, there are also highly collectable divers which used that movement, but I suppose that getting from scratch all the pieces for a (non-watcho) SHOM or for a 1000 is next to impossible.

 

Thanks for the reply! Yea after doing a bit of research I think the dynamic isn't an economical option.

I think I will hold on to the movement and collect parts as they come up for the SHOM or the 1000. Wouldn't mind making this a 1 year project...

 

I have the opposite problem, have an almost NOS Case ref. 166.130 and needs a 1012 caliber and a better dial

 

Who is selling to whom?

 

Oh wow! Ok well I'll let you know. I'm gonna try calling watchco and see if their number is still in service. If it doesn't work out I will consider selling it.

Nice case btw! Dial would be worth installing until a replacement is found obviously.
