I can only dream of such steadiness of hands. Great work, congrats!
The plating is stunning. But curious why you elected not to plate certain sides of certain bridges / only certain faces of the main plate? Was it because the unposted surfaces are working surfaces and you didn’t want to risk plating coming off and fouling the movement?
Pretty much everything is plated. I left very minimal number of pieces not plated to give it more depth / color change.
Thank you, that one was the very first. Now looking at it it's a terrible job haha

That's amazing work. I can't imagine how many watches I'd ruin trying to drill that out by hand.
Yes far away better first one you did, you improve yourself skills on finishing job and even on skeleton job, did using laser techno for cutting? Here’s some of mine on original different rolex caliber,Thank you, that one was the very first. Now looking at it it's a terrible job haha
