I feel the Artillery theme best fits inside one of the B-Uhr cases; I like the idea of working in the scale of the 45, but [personally] feel the 42 would be somewhat more practically wearable. I like seeing the FL engraving against the smooth, silvery finish of that first-run/prototype watch (understanding that the effect is likely the fruit of age). Is a Crown discussion pending?

city-dweller: that excellent translation will guide the dial work tremendously, thank you.

Uwe: any chance of seeing the the three Artillery dial versions together (or perhaps that's best left for the Dial-thread...)?

Thanks, Uwe, for the case/finish clarification and the additional photos; I will happily save dial work/conversations for a future thread. Re: Crown - just being curious, I'm certainly a member of the "let's save costs where we can" camp.

Re: More Case Information

• The 1969 case can only be used with the Durowe movement
• The 45 mm case can only be used with a handwinding movement (it's too thin to house an automatic)
• The 42 mm case can be used with both automatic and handwinding.

In choosing between the 1969/42mm/45mm/other cases, are we also inherently selecting a see-through vs. solid caseback? Once the unit Case has been decided, will there be a subsequent conversation/vote on finishing details (i.e., FL engraving, Matte/Brush/Polish, etc.)? Thanks!
