I never know where to post this stuff ??? I hope its ok here?
Made a movement ring for a member.

You make it look so easy, but it also looks like quite a lot of work. I'm in awe of your skills. Love these posts. nice to see how the parts we used get made.

Yeah! + 1000! I would have lost a finger in that process.

Great work. What are those slotted holes for?

I'm guessing for the movement retaining screws.

Check out the last photo with the movement and the movement ring in the watch case.

Hey TimeLost
2 are for the movement holder screws so the movement is held in place not only relying on the dial feet.
2 are so the ring is in compression when the caseback is closed.
In reality the 2 movement holder screws are not needed because the holder is in contact with the main plate pushing is against the dial and the dial is seated in the watch case but I prefer using up the movement holding screws its a batter practice.
Ill post a picture when i get to instaling the movement holder screws. But that wont be for a while im leaving the country this weekend. Kansas city here i come LOL (pun intended)

Great work! That looks perfect.
