Thanks [mention]Emilio[/mention] for your kind reply! Definitely not questioning your drawing, LOLImage. As this is very much engineering stuffs and It's totally out of my knowledge area, so am trying to find out why it is constructed in such a way and learn something new from it! [mention]bmsm[/mention] thanks and noted! Image

Update

You can appreciate how the stock NW CG has that gap in this pictures.

I have realized that the screw head needs space too so that's maybe another reason.

Ok that explain why the gap!!! Image

Thank E, for these clarification pictures. Image

Another one, a trotting reel from J W Young & Sons, the Purist. The centre pin was a few degrees off and now it is straight.

I might use your drawings to make a 3D model, just to play around. If you need help with that, let me know. I would recommend Fusion 360.

Another watch un-related project down to the last bits of finishing.

My dad asked me to repair his kitchen knife for him so I did. I used my favorite wood, Padouk, a walnut spacer and bronze pins. It’s great doing things you don’t have to think about every once in a while... this is how far I got in thirty minutes yesterday:

Only minor finishing left to do

Wahaha, yes you can if it get realised! But I wish it is that easy and straightforward! The small 8 days keywind movement is rare as hen's teeth and this case is drawn base on it size! Image

Awesome!


[mention]VanSong[/mention] I love the idea of the sw movement! Do you think there’s any chance for water resistance?
