Someone else was asking about buying a movement and fitting it to a case and just how feasible that is. I'd recommend against it unless you know for sure that the movement will fit the case. If the distance from where the dial rests against the front of the case back to where the stem goes in to the movement isn't just right, the hole in the case for the stem and the spot where it goes in to the movement won't line up and there'll be no way to get the movement to sit properly. If you want some sort of project watch, buy an Asian 2824 clone. Dials, hands and cases are plentiful for 2824s. Pic related is a watch that I cobbled together, although it required a bit more work as it uses an A. Schild 1913 movement with all the other parts being for a 2824.

I love plain watches, I wear my old Tudor Oysterdate almost every day. The Mark II is just a bit too much for me it seems.

In other news, I'm in the background of a video. Does that make me internet famous yet? http://ifixit.org/blog/7168/watchmaker/
