For sale here on WWF is one of my project watches, and what has become known as Version 1 since it was the first style I made.
This watch does not include a strap since most people have their own preferences for materials, colour, and quality.
The watch has a 43mm stainless steel case with mineral crystals front and back. The case is approx. 11mm thick, and has a nice onion style crown for easy winding. The lug width is 22mm.
The movement is a genuine Swiss made ETA/Unitas 6497-1 manual wind, with sub-seconds dial at 9 o’clock. The movement has 17 jewels, Incabloc shock protection, Rhodium plating with Côtes de Genève pattern on the plates, and blued screws. The power reserve is approx. 50 hours.
The dial is made of aluminum with applied Arabic markers, and the hands are polished black Breguet style.
I will include a document showing the assembly process for these watches if the buyer is interested.
Price is $410 US plus shipping. This price is enough to cover my costs on this watch and nothing more.
I have made several of these watches for friends, some here on WWF, and I believe everyone has been quite satisfied with them to date. This one is available since a sale to a non-WWF member has fallen through. Since the watch is in the US presently, there would be no issues with customs or extra charges for a sale in the US.
Payment by PayPal or wire transfer.

Thanks for looking!
