Thanks for sharing your journey
with this movement. It’s impressive.
And I can only admire your love for your Marine Perpetual Limited and its ingenious movement.
Well done, Denes!
Best, Emmanuel
Of course on the West Coast that blue shines more than over here on the East Coast, especially now ):
That’s awesome 👍🏻👏🏻
Making the gears larger for demonstration purposes - simply great! Thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Another tidbit
Another lesser known fact about the Marine Perpetual that it has a white gold bezel. If I am correct it has to do with the blue lacquer, that would not work on stainless steel.
Very much like on the Maxi Marine 43 WG limited. Actually they share the same bezel.
How abaout the little anchor medallion in the rotor? is it enamel?
I’m just wondering after all these other fine details we are discussing:
Perfect props for UN photos!

No, it is the same lacquer.
When I was working on the movement disassembly I took a good look at the rotor also. Checked with my fingernail, it felt the same as the bezel. It is still the same beautiful boy🤩🤪
My ultimate dream
The one watch wish I would love to be granted is a GMT/Chrono/Perpetual with this blue dial.
UN has the GMT +\- Perpetual already and they have the Caliber 150 chronograph. Both based on the same Lemania DNS. Wondering how possible it would be to put the front part of the chronograph underneath the perpetual module. Looking at both movements suggests it would add another 1.2 mm to the height of the movement.

This is a most serious strip-down ...
I love your post, and especially the working model you made. I would disassemble the movement, put everything in a plastic bag and send it to UN: "Please undo what I did ..."

A great perpetual
You did a great job with the movement breakdown and model of the program wheels.
I always liked the El Toro watch. I'm surprised to learn that this particular model is now worth more parted than whole.
