    Vintage Hamilton 917

    I just bought this movement to eventually use in a custom project, but I'm a long ways off from starting. This movement is so beautiful I thought I'd share a couple photos, although I wish I had a macro lens to capture the fine details .

    well I'm still deciding what kind of watch I'd like to build. not to mention that I'm also waiting for my tools to arrive! I was wondering if it's possible to use the gold numbers on another dial? and if anyone have a recommendation for where to buy nice dials, that would be good too.
