...is much too expensive! Especially, since it was a very limited edition... I think it looks great, however! And since my brother's birthday is in a few weeks, I thought I would recreate it! I had a Chinese Unitas copy Flieger watch in my stash, as well as a few old Swiss 6497/98 pocket watches. I bought a sterile dial and matching hands... And went to work. Hand setting... Finished. ... And then I noticed that I had a bit of Rodico (I use that to pick up the hands when positioning them for hand setting) on my Minute hand! So I had to take the movement out again and clean the hand. But it turned out quite nice. Let's hope my brother likes a big hand-wind copy watch... At least it's got a Swiss heart now.

Spectacular result Jonas. I find the mods or full-on 'creations' are the most satisfying of all my watches.
Congrats and your brother will be one lucky guy shortly

That's superb work Jonas, turned out very cleanly. I'm sure your brother will be very happy with it, if not then you have a customer base waiting!
