Very nice , Jason...Love the black dial! I wonder if mine is also called a Tilton, even thought it has the later caliber 355?

The difference in movement size is so slight that I'm thinking they just reused the case as is...mine is also stamped 186.
When I find my caliber 163, I'll see how the fit is.

Mine came with a braided leather strap that fell apart when removing it to clean the case. I call this type of braided band a Bolo strap.
I did purchase some braided leather to replace it but chose the too think option and now need to go get the thinner one.

Here's mine...
