Horological Meandering

Greetings, All,

Recently acquired this modestly skeletonized Peseux 7001 -- now all I have to do is figure out how to clean it up, put hands on it, case it, and all of the other stuff necessary to turn it into a watch!

Would welcome any observations or advice from folks who have completed such a project (especially those who have done so in a simple way without putting a CNC in the basement!).  In the meantime, hope you enjoy the pix.

 

Best,

Gary G

If you intend to not have any dial at all, that takes at least one item out of the equation for making all the parts fit together.  I look forward to seeing the final result.

Cheers, Al

Gary - that's some good work and the movement is a classic.  The 7001's just run and run and run.

if you happen to find a source for those components I'd love to hear about it as I have some P7001's sitting in my drawer!

From recasing a 7001 to the AHCI ;-)  I can see the forum thread now "Just look at the vintage finish on that Getz" (and the watch looks pretty good, too ;-)

Best,

Mitch

...but I'm afraid that I am becoming somewhat vintage myself!

Best,

Gary

John Davis aka "ei8htoms and Don Corson, [AHCI Moderator] on this forum, could give you some answers.

I'll look one or both up as soon as I get my act together...

Best,

Gary

Can't wait to see what you come up with!  This is going to be fun!

Hope you are well,

Daos

I appreciate your kind note.  We'll see what I'm able to come up with -- one bit of good news is that it's a project that's unlikely to break the bank -- at this point I'm only in the three figures...

Best,

Gary

...and a KV on your wrist?  I'd trade with you any day!    Be well!
