Hi Tritium, no I haven't purchased anything yet - this is going to be my project for the new year - sourcing everything to end up with a customised Speedmaster
I already have a standard black-faced "Moon Watch" Speedy and I'm planning to end up with something like this, but with the Omega Kevlar strap and deployment clasp:
I will either buy a brand new case or just replace crystal, bezels, pushers etc. - in the end it depends on the condition of whatever watch/movement I get my hands on.
I have a very good watchmaker here in Sydney who I'm going to commission to do the restoration, so it's probably going to cost a pretty penny but I really love the idea of putting an old movement into a new case and giving it a new lease of life, it appeals to me more than buying a brand new watch (of which I have a couple)... Display Caseback will probably feature too
