    I didn't spend much on it. I'd like to turn it into a watch, but sourcing a
    Cal 89 case is neither easy nor inexpensive as far as I can tell so far. Any
    suggestions? -- Lisa

    Hi Lisa

    You need hour and seconds hands as well as a case.

    Once hands are sourced, instead of making a wristwatch, why not have a mount
    made, and use it as a desk watch, perhaps under a glass dome.

    Also

    There are talented casemakers out there, consider making it into a pendant
    watch to be worn around the neck on a chain.
