The 2013 Watchuseek CMW forum ST5 tribute project was an incredible journey, starting with watch designer and builder Torsten Nagengast "purchasing the vintage movements (using [his own] money up front), dismantling them and making sure they were up to scratch."
I'm very grateful, Torsten. The link goes to the details.

Wow. That was a ton of work, with a really nice end result.

Yes, it was and thank you, that's really appreciated. I'm a forum mod, but I take no credit on this. I purchased, but I was arm's length.
It was a fun project with good results and broad participation. As an aside, the movement in this watch is absolutely the smoothest winder I have in my collection. It's like rolling velvet.
THESE are the kinds of collabs I love seeing, all for the love of the people and the love of the game.
Beautiful watch, and movement too
