As a tribute to our fearless leader and his latest video: A Build-Up!

[rduckwor]

Some year ago, I bought a Swiss Legend watch strictly for the movement.  The watch cost less than the movement in it.  It was ugly as you might expect!

Time passed and I never found anything I really wanted to build up.  A period of boredom and lassitude struck and I needed a project while waiting for parts on another project.

 

To EBay and sourced a case, dial, and hands.  I should have paid better attention as the dial as it was a touch too large for the case.  I turned it down using a dremel and 400 grit sandpaper.  Worked very well and did not damage the dial.

 

Put it all together and here it is.

 

The more difficult task turned out to be clearancing the hands so they didn't foul.  Cutting the stem was no issue.

BTW, I have christened it the "TURDOR" courtesy of a typo when I was saving the picture.

You might be on to something. Turdor watches.. no worse than Virgin cola and FCUK fashionware, thought the colour might not be entirely authentic for a Turdor watch.  ~insert toilet humour joke here ~

Turdoor?
