The eta G10.711 is the same size, 30mm, as the 251.262 so I looked for a donor watch using that movement. In the end I was offered a dead invicta chrono for free. I agree with you on the airplane...

Actually no, there is a different very common eta chronograph movement with the same dimensions, I forget the number but will look it up.
The hands and generic dial are available on ebay. I did...
Closest I got was this, built with an invicta case and a bunch of parts from ebay

I would order that one, I love the idea of a chronograph diver type.
that is pretty cool
What we really need is for a chinese copy of the 5100 to pop up somewhere
the only hard part is that all the dials have to be the SAME design which may be like pulling teeth here.
I got a quote of about $40 US each to make 10 dials of a single design with superluminova for a total of $400 US
can one of you photoshop guys mock one up with a dreadnought dial?
or in scientific terms: it looks really cool
I'd be in for one
