What are you working on now?

Redoing from scratch the dial because OCD kicked in and was not to my liking (too aged).

I have used UV resin to fill the cutouts instead of Oyumaru since the moldeable plastic had uneven finish and got too sticky

That’s a very clean result. Very nice work.

Dials are way out of my skill set, this is a good one!

Got the leatherette off of the dental case I’m working on. Peeled off and like most things in antique furniture held in place by good old fashion hide glue. Which Means all I had to do to get the residue off was moisten it up with warm water on a rag, wait for a minutes and then scrape off the goo.
Now it’s all naked and I need to decide if I’m putting a new leatherette cover back on or a walnut or maple veneer.

Can’t wait to fill it with my hoard of parts sitting in a big cardboard box

Selling watches so I can waste that same money on watches again.

Rinse and repeat.....

Actually I’m a bit stuck on my lucite 3646. Need to get a bezel and decide on a movement.
