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.

Here are the before pictures...

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.

Robert is very easy
tools:
calipers(vernier),dremel with carbide end
lathe to cut out the worn out back bezel(optional for display case)
measure the movement, measure the case and open up with dremel the back side of the case .
cut new slot for lever .
