Clock
I like quartz clock movement so which is less expensive to do, convert old clock to quartz myself with new face, lens, etc., or just buy a new clock? I assume the clocks the vendors sell for around $300 are quartz, and do they “tic tock”?

VetteGal sold me a 61 quartz clock for $129 a few years back....C2s are a whole different ball game. A 63 ? Forget about picking up ANY type of movement cheap...
You can do the conversion yourself - I've heard claims that some will tic-toc but have yet to hear one....
And no conversion will have the "snap and whir" sound of the points rewinding the clock movement every 2-3 minutes...forget about fooling anybody with quartz.

Quartz replacement clock. Does not tic-tic, whir, buzz, or otherwise audibly communicate with you but I was just looking for visual correctness.
