    Three tickers!

    Assembled from parts.

    From left to right. 505 movement. 562 for my old dyle. 3 buck 620

    There is something satisfying about a newly cleaned and oiled watch running for the first time.

    Next up to put them on the watch timer.

    Probably sacrilege, but I quite fancy a ‘no dial’ omega a la Bulova Spaceview!

    Swatch has transparent cases. Those are ETA movements.

    Complications often have display backs.

    Would be easy enough to assemble a watch without a dial. Or place in a thin sheet of acrylic. That would feel more like the Emperor's clothes.

    Transparent aluminum is in effect sapphire. So there is precedent as that is common crystal material.

    I love when I drop in a balance and it fires up, so satisfying.

    yes it is a bluremiester blurematic. Actually a month ago this was loose random parts. I just got the rotor axle for the 505. I had a dial, which has been in the box for decades. Some mis matched hands as well. Only thing missing is a case.

    I stuck the 620 into the old square case. Not quite right as this is labeled automatic. Found a 630 which would be better for the "Dinamyc" (barely visible with a red dyle.) 671 and 630 do not show up as often as the 620 or 684.

    Need the courage to clean the other dynamic with the green strap. That one also has a 630 movement.
