Just got my Benrus.  Below are some pics before modification.  Once complete, can no longer open to show movement cause it needs to compress to seal. My sifu says, too many time open close will loosen the virginity :Laughing_on_floor: Enjoy.... :Cheers:

Very nice! does your sifu weld the lugs on for you?
Each handmade watch is sold with part of the watchmakers soul. The effort to make the watch perfectly flawless like a gem, takes a lot of the watchmakers concentration. You pay for the "Loving attention" they give to each movement and watch.

the bund style is good way of turning the pocketwatch to wrist watch
anyway of using the hard leather to hold the watch rather than have a welding lugs will be even more great

Good afternoon Chrisyen....tried that, but the crown difficult to wind cause too close to strap :HammerHead:. unless the crown can be adjusted to 3'clock.  Luckily the owner loves it or else, i got to crack my head again.... :Laughing_on_floor:  Now, my next project is even harder, she wanted swing lugs :Confused:, hope my friend Mr Goldsmith can help.  Please, feed me with all ideas even some might sound weird but i am willing to listen.   :Cheers:
