Hi all. Ok I know this is going to be one hell of a contentious issue - however I have a very good friend (and fellow musician) who has very large hands and a small budget who wants to get into the vintage watch game. I have of course tried to hip him to the Heuer ethic and have tried to woo him with my Autavia's and my Carrera 2447 etc etc...but to no avail. He is a stoic chap who knows what he wants ("I don't want any of those numbers around the dial") so that means no bezels. It also means the case has to be 42mm. So that means a re-cased pocket watch. He loves the bauhaus ethic, and wants a clean big dial, in a vintage hue. I know there are some good re-casing guys out there. Can anyone put me in touch with a good person who could re-case a lovely pocket watch and give it some new life.
As always many thanks for input - Nathan
