As we all know those convertible will not fit standard size 16 case hmmm with few worn out cases and few tools all is posible.
I will have to adjust the sleeve but all fit and works.

I have one of those movements that I bought because I really liked the way it looks. I would like to see the details of how you accomplished this.

Great job, Pete!
I always wanted a display case for a convertible.
Very nice look, glad it found a good home.
