Since you have time before the 3/12, here something different.. (just did it on my iPhone) Corum Skull + VC 1141 + VC Pusher The mouvement base can for example be replaced with VC Maltese Cross ...  

Very cool!!!! [nt]

Superb, this engraving. [nt]

I'd imagine it might be very difficult for anyone to guess what it is when you can't clearly see some of the small details like the teeth on the gears. Why not a Maltese cross instead of the full watch movement? Also, I'd be in favor of doing just one or ...

I bow in respect.

Any reason for cal 1141 over 1142?

Make sure the artist is very skilled.

Just make sure you put it in a place that won't wrinkle 😉 [nt]
