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 |

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. |

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! IanM yourock.gif |
