Come on, you’re not even trying here
Maybe next time I'm in Japan, I'll pick up some rocks at a beach in Kanagawa...

What do you do when you want a proprietary movement? Well, you make one yourself. Sort of.
I mentioned decoration, and skeletonization is far beyond my ability. So my vision for a proprietary movement will be a 'normal' 7001 main plate that I will apply pearlage to quite thoroughly, then have rhodium plated. Then using the now 'in-house' decorated main plate, have the movement serviced and reassembled (professionally, not by me) with the skeletonized gold parts. So yellow gold plated open-worked over white rhodium plated pearlage. Should look unique.

Dials look great. I'm thinking the case needs at least one layer of good polish.

I think it needs even a bit more than that. I'm just not looking forward to doing it...
