I had forgotten how long it takes to get projects to move along....

Between dial designing, dial making, movement cleaning, case modifications, making custom spacers, finding new hands....

OMG.... no wonder I used to hoard for just in case projects....there used to be a lot less down time when you have stuff stashed away.

All of my builds are "almost done" on a perpetual mode.

Have you shared the designs on what your dress watch is going to look like?
