There is an influence on my design, I have to admit it!

Re: Machining a watch case
That is some hobby you've got yourself involved in there! How on earth do you find the time for it?

Fab_u_lous.
That's really stylish. I like the long and rounded lugs. It must have been quite tricky to ensure all four are identical.

Just read through the whole thread. Absolutely amazing. Great workmanship. You could turn the hobby into a profession.

Re: Machining a watch case
Thanks for the comments everyone.
How do I find the time? I work 12 hr shifts which gives me blocks of 4 & 5 days off on regular rotation.
Anyway, after sitting for a couple of days to confirm its running ok, here are a couple more pics.
The next effort is now in the design stage. With luck it should be a step up again.
More to follow in due course.

Can’t believe I’ve missed this thread in the past. Just finished reading it from the start. I tip my flat cap to you, absolutely fantastic work, you should be very proud of your efforts there. Looking forward to the next instalment from IAW
