That is very good. Welcome!
You may wan to read those 239 pages from the back to the front, and once at the front, again to the back.
There's so much information it's impossible to remember all... unfortunately.

I made a OneNote and i log the key items as I go

I received mine last week from @1016 lover . It looks great and fit well. Very pleased with this recent version.

Thanks for information and inspiration. All raffles parts except the t21 glass and the nh38.

Case reshaping,drill lugs,change bezel and crystal and some dial and hand ageing.
I should have searched for this thread first.
I think you have made some fantastic watches,i will have a go.

Not as bad as it sounds - case shaping, if you've got a Raffles 1016 case, is pretty straightforward. Plenty to work with - just take your time!

Also, you can 90% of the way there with 75% of the effort; it's the final 10% that'll kill you!

hello, could you tell me which crown you used? it's not the stock Raffles, is it the Athaya?

I have some new parts coming and then i will probably read all 240 pages again.
I need to buy some sandpaper as well.

No its bad,i only made it because i liked the dial on Raffles site.
Its everything Raffles with sapphire crystal and nh35,i just slapped it together.
I am not very good at putting hands on ,they are probably wonky.
