Dead explorer for some love
You have some great skill in finishing the looks of the watch. Hopefully i can get somewhere close . Btw the bench grinder/buffer you said from harbor freight. Are any of these good?

I bet you could use those, I use something a bit more expensive but if you use right wheels I think you can have the same results.
Good luck
would you mind sharing what kind of grinder you use from harbor? I can ask my cousin to buy for me in US as they dont send to Canada.
thanks

I don't use any from harbor freight.
I use this setup
https://www.esslinger.com/foredom-bl...-115v-or-230v/
Plus the hood
https://www.esslinger.com/foredom-po...or-air-filter/
And Dremel/ assortment of pads, sandpapers , blocks, etc. Too many to list.
But I'm thinking about upgrading my setup as this one is very small and takes only 4" wheels.

Ohh i thought you have one from harbor too cz on one of the post you mentioned i think to get one from harbor unless im mistaken.
but thanks a lot buddy for sharing. I was thinking for the 6in grinder on harbor. Was there for cheap and im just starting. Ordered sanding stick set from esslinger and thinking of a garyflex block 120 or 240 grit and one of the grinders.

As always, these pictures are fantastic. Thank you for sharing how your work is done, or the process. Not many watchmakers do this. It's extremely informative and fascinating for us mon-watchmakers. It is truly appreciated!Little work today, movement service and new inserts, cleaning
Also, that's a great new logo you have for your profile. Business logo?
