Very attractive, well done. Just curious, how does it look on your wrist, I know large wristwatches are popular now, however I'm not a fan.

Very nice!!!!

Good looking watch! Where did you get the case?

what size movement and where did you got the case for it.
Nice looking wrist watch.

Works fine on my wrist but if you're not a fan of big watches you wouldn't care how it looks on my wrist.

Bought case from a guy on Timezone who is selling completed watches. By the way, the big difference in his materials is using an actual Hamilton dial and hands. Tourby and RGM do their own thing with dial and hands and frankly the originals look much better imho.

The only downside is the watch isn't shock protected but I am not hard on my watches so it really doesn't matter much. Beyond that, the movement so far exceeds anything available today that it isn't even close.

If there's a big enough market for these conversions, it might be a solution to the problem of what to do with all the small pocket watch movements that been stripped of their cases by gold scrappers.

Ed, there is a huge market for big watches and your suggestion is an excellent suggestion yielding a far better watch movement (including the Hammie 917, the 921 and 923 are as fine a watch as ever made imho) than the run of the mill ETA movements going into 99% of big watches. However, have you looked at the prices wanted for them by RGM or Tourby? Outrageous. You'd think they had actually made the movements rather than spend a couple of hundred bucks on the bits and pieces that together with the movement comprise a watch. There is an opportunity for someone with reasonable margin expectations.

Michael, you make a valid point that hadn't occurred to me, regarding the use of quality movements, such as Hamilton to make the conversion.

Ok I got few of those movement now where do I find wrist watch case for them ? to fit.

Do you have a link. To find how to buy a case. Cost of the case also please and thank you.

Now, if I could only find an automatic 12s movement

here is my conversion size 16 Ball/Ham 999
on my wrist

LOL (assuming your joking, otherwise nice watch )

I've got a Westclox Baby Ben I thought about converting, but then I'd have to cut the sleeve off my shirt.

How about this? Here's an eBay auction for a Swiss Goliath wristwatch which the description says has a 48mm case w/o crown. That's a BIG watch!
