MANUAL WINDING VOSTOK 2409A "Russian handmade from the Urals" 55mm w/crown, acrylic crystal New. Around $200. Case is chrome plated brass. I suppose at some point one could look into having a plater strip off the chrome. Leaving the brass case. Are the lugs and crown brass? If not they'd need to be plated in some sort of brass finish to match the case. Just a thought for a fun option for you. Comes with wooden box/papers.

That is the style Baco. "This is the brand new and extremely rare model "195" - this Agat 195 is a very small series of watches with soldered band connections (in retro style like the first mechanical wrist watches which were nothing more than pocket watches with soldered connections...)"

That's a neat concept, don't think I've seen one like it before.
