make my own again, enjoying retirement playing in my "workshop"and garden centres up to now 
I did a trade a while back with member Uwe and i received a project 7549-7009 case, bezel and glass retaining screw ring and nothing else.
I like these projects as they take time and hunting which brings success, failure and frustration which all adds to the fun
Tried buying a shroud with zero success so i decided to make one as fortunately Rob/Seikokid loaned me his to take a copy from, mine is not a 100% 1-1 copy cosmetically but the important parts of the shroud are pretty much spot on and imo 100% better than no shroud. It's one of those things that if I was making a few then the next ones would be better having learned what I have by making the prototype.
If all the parts I have coming do actually turn up correct then i only need a dial and hands, anybody ?
