Finally got around to taking a few pics of the watch that Avalon built for me.

They are not the best pics... I swear... I forgot everything about how to use the light.

Anyway, it is built around a higher grade Unitas 6497 pocket watch movement. Basically the same thing that powers the Panerai watches.

It is a large watch, around 44.5 mm. The case, hands, dial, movement, etc were all purchased separately and Avalon spend a couple of weeks assembling everything, lubricating the movement, adjusting the beat rate, etc.

I am quite pleased with the result.
It is a unique watch, basically hand made, and the fact that a friend made it for me renders it priceless.
