I will have to start about 3 or 4 years ago....I bought a 17 size Sangamo movement off someone I am thinking maybe Tom Dunn...Can't remember for sure....Memory is kind of slipping these days...It has been laying in a drawer....I didn't think I would ever find the parts to make a complete watch but I was always looking...About a year or so ago I found a dial for it and still didn't think there was much hope...About 6 or 8 months ago I found the three correct hands for a 17 size Sangamo...A few week ago I saw a Sangamo case...It was a green gold filled ridged bow case...A little pricy but I have looked so long for one I went for it...The only other thing it needed now was a minute wheel and with the help of Twin City Supply I was able to come up with that.....I sent it off to a friend to service it....Now here is the completed watch project...

Sorry the pictures aren't the best....It wasn't the cheapest watch project I have ever done but I think it turned out to be a pretty nice watch...

Nice watch Gary! Sometimes it pays to hang on until everything comes together.
