Imo the watch case looked like it had been CHUCKED at a concrete floor!

Please post lots more of your repair jobs, bry. I, for one, find them genuinely fascinating.

I will try and add watch projects when possible.

FYI the machinist took three attempts to get the bezel just right, I'm glad I bought the 100mm length of 316L bar!

Bry, This might be a daft question, but, If you have access to a lathe are you not tempted to design and make your own watch with possably a bought in movement?

Bry, out of interest, do you know which model of Link that is? It's lovely ... Reminds me of the Calibre S I had, but less cluttered and automatic! The latest models do not have as much writing at 6 O'Clock, so I can't work out which one it is?

Cheers! thumbup
