what amazes me Mike is that a watchmaker in the Phillipines modifies these movements and everything works including the second hand.
when Azimuth did their backwards in time movements using eta 2824's they couldnt get the second hand to run backwards. some very limited edition models had subseconds which went clockwise but they were jumpy and ditched for the worldwide models.
is this highlighting the skill of the watchmaker or the adaptability of the movement?

That is very cool, G. Proper modification, though I'd prefer 'standard' hands.

yep, modded 6309.
i quite like the hands as its different so it might as well be very different. keeps great time as well which helps.

Doers it really spin in the opposite way?

Cool.

absolutely Bill. the whole thing incl second hand and accurate to a few secs a day. pressure tested as well.
if you want a funky usable dive watch i can pm you details.

It takes a little getting used to but it really runs backward.

congrats Bill, but dont show Cazalea which one as i know he missed out by just a few dollars. it would be awful to think a pair of purist friends were bidding against each other :)
i look forward to seeing it.
i've put mine on an orange leather nato which brightens it up a lot.

His id was not in the list of bidders.

Fun watch a bit a of brain scratcher each time you read the time.
