Hi guys
It's been almost 1year since I did not post on that topic.
That build proved to be much more difficult than I thought but today I'm close to finish that watch.
I still have some work to do but I'm really close
So here's a little teaser

Congrats C, that was well worth waiting for :)

Thanks P ... hope you had a nice New Year's Eve with Ca ;)
Mine with M has been a little hectic as we had our 2 grandchildrens (3 1/2 and 1 years old) at home for 1 week (without their parents) ... I'm afraid we fell asleep just at 0:10 AM :p

Thanks for liking that bad-boy.
That build has been a loooong way as when I posted my first message last year the some of the casework was already done and the dial has been built about 1 1/2 year ago.

Now that I can consider it finished (almost ... it's never finished) I'm working on the list of "good ideas / errors" for a future better one.
But you know what ... even with the flaws I'm really happy with that one.

And YES ... I will post some more pics next weeks

I'll tell her ... she loved our soiree Ca and you.
You 2 are always welcomed in the "Capitale des Gaules"

Still on my wrist today as I can't get that bad boy off

I didn't find time enough to take good pics this week (I'll try next weekend) so I post those.

At the least one can see the custom bezel (fully rotating) with "german silver" upper part, the fixed bars and the (barely visible but there it is) tiny gap between the rehaut and the dial.
