Just a few quick ones with the pocket camera, I promise I'll try to get the white balance right in future.

Wow
:applause:
Indeed - Especially love that crown!
M.
Double WOW! That's beautiful, really like the blue skeleton hands and well, everything else.........:)
Manual wind?
Cannot wait for a date on these- on leather Eddie?
TF is really on a roll at the moment
TF really is on a roll.
Not sure if the hands are meant to be just the frame like that but I like them the way they are!
Nice to have a movement on display that's actually worth looking at.
Pretty good from the front too.
Looking good. I'm with snowman, the crown really crowns this watch.
Nice one, any price yet ?.
First a question (sorry if I've missed an obvious answer): is it a hacking movement, please? I'm hoping that was one of the modifications mentioned above.
Then, there's a strange distortion in the first photo you posted, Eddie. The watch doesn't look quite round and the sub-dial appears to be off centre. That's probably caused by being close in and over the crown. That said, it shows the concept well enough. Here's a link to one of your previous posts with your design illustration for anyone that's interested.
Clean and classy! Love that coin edged bezel!
Not one I'd buy, but certainly one I'd admire. Very nice.
Very nice coin edged bezel and the crown the dial and the rear is very pretty good job !
I really liked the renderings and the actual watch is looking very good.
I love the big plate on the movement, but the stripes look a bit rough. I hope it's just because these are some quick shots in questionable lighting conditions. (and it doesn't help that there are so many amazing glamour shots of beautiful movements out there like this.)
That looks it has turned out very nicely indeed.
A very nice piece Eddy. But I am a lover of white faced watches.
Can you divulge the case diameter?
The crown is like a propeller. Nice touch.
Any clue about the price range?
Very nice and with some refreshing design details Eddy.....:thumbsup:
That looks attractive in a not to common way, as mentioned above by Jeroen, some refrweshing design details.
Lovely movement as well.
But..............I'm a little bit sad that the marine-chronometer power reserve thingy hasn't actually made it for sproduction.
Daddel.
A very nice clean look, it didn't appeal to me at first but it's really nice and providing it isn't more than 40mm hmmm, wonder what rose gold would look like?
:calm:
Whilst it isn't a model I feel I would want to own it is a thing of beauty particularly those Skeleton hands.
You would have been more disappointed if what was available/possible had been fitted.
I bought 200 movements on the understanding that the power reserve modification could be carried out. I sent a picture of the mock-up and said I wanted the PR modification exactly as shown and they said they could do it. About 6 months later, they said they could do a power reserve but not as shown, the one they could do was only a 60 degree arc and that would have looked stupid.
I had no choice but to abandon the PR modification but I would not have started the project at all if I'd know at the beginning. The movements also took 18 months longer than the promised delivery date and everything had to be paid up-front so I didn't have the option of backing out.

I think this looks great. PR would have ruined balance IMO.
Blue strap with this one to match the hands Eddie?
i hope these are not the movements originally intended for the B-UHR watch? is that project still going ahead at some point?
I've been following this Sewills design and I must say that I love it. The hands look superb along with the crown. You cannot beat the 6498 for reliability and that distinctive low beat tick.
Looks good, shame about the power reserve. Still, I think I have to have one of these beauties.
Would I be correct to assume that the due date, following the gestation period for this fine timepiece, is approximately some time next year? or is there perhaps a more significant, accurate date that has been pencilled in?
I have been looking at this style of thing for a while and had seen a couple of examples but I feel more secure about purchasing from Mr.P than I do from elsewhere.
The plan is to supply with a custom strap on deployant. The watches are ready but the straps aren't :-(.
Eddie
oh... arse and darn it!
this little fella is a delight, i will have to make it my birthday present to myself I think. Swan Neck Regulator too is it? Any other adjustments I might understand? Has that fabulous retro marine look about it to my untrained eye. Quite lovely
