Because the available stuff on eBay and so on doesn’t show vintage speedys I build my own one.
Due to wall watch please don’t start a fake Discussion. It seems to be clear, that this is not a real Omega Speedmaster 😉

- Takes me 3 hours on photoshop
- 2 hours to modify the 4 watch movements
- Another 3 hours to cut out all the paper and glue it to the hands.

The material cost are round about 40€.

The chrono the small second on the left and the small hours are moving.

The 30 minute indication is just show and doesent move.

Kind regards

That's a great idea! 👍

Why didn't you glue on (or photoshop) long indices as well?

i ordered the old hands from a friend... he will print them on a 3D printer.- not finished yet It’s not easy to organize the paper hands due to the little space in between. As bigger the hand are as more difficult it becomes...

@Cipolla My above post was spontaneously written and I didn't intend to say anything is wrong with your project.

In fact my question was meant seriously. I know that some guys like the AML service dials: 😉

I think it's a fantastic idea and realization! 😀 While you're at it with the hands: How about a 3D AML too?

This is genius and incredibly well executed. I've been thinking for a while about a clock face painted on a wall, with large hands drive by a similar movement. now I'm thinking SM300 Big Triangle.

Wow 😲 Looks great👍. I think it would look much better if you can also add the bezel. Let me know if you ever want to sell any. I like to be your first customer.😉

This is one I bought from somewhere. You could use the shell to add your graphics and then you would have the bezel (although not a DON).

That’s friendly corn18, but I think to print a bezel and add outside the clock wouldn’t fit properly.

If someone could send me a strait picture in high resolution (minimum 300dpi) of a 2915 Dial (without Hands!) i could try this as well.
I’ve got one watch on reserve 😉

@Cipolla I like yours a lot better as it is much more accurate and you have moving seconds and hour index hands. I'd buy one if you decide to turn this into a business.

Looks great and seems relatively inexpensive! Any thought of trying to add an aged patina look to the markers and hands?
