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.

That's amazing work. I can't imagine how many watches I'd ruin trying to drill that out by hand.
