This just arrived today, after some quick tinkering I think I can wear it!






hmm... ronda quartz



Oh there that's much better!



Ok the hands are not a perfect lume color match but they will do for now!

Well done! I totally understand your move...A nice Débaufré like that surely deserves an auto movement .hand6.gif Congratulations for the nice modded Débaufré ThumbsUp02.gif

would you believe the quartz movement came with a nice metal movement ring, i didn't have to adjust it even it is notched inside for the 2892 already ...

Nice to drop in an auto and I like the juxtaposition of the Seamaster-esque hands and classic sub-style dial.Thumbsup3.gif

Looks great with the Bulova auto - thats a nice signed rotor, there!

I wish I could do this kinda stuff..  sold my Magnum BECAUSE of the quartz movement and that irritating tick...  tick... tick... of the second hand.

Yours is a HUGE upgrade!

Cheers Chris - nice job!
