Here goes anyway, what do ya think? Notice the position of the name Flieger and it is a fantasy luxury caliber 3307 and kinda has a ring to it108E59B1-D1AA-4402-9F0B-714F26592D9C.thumb.jpeg.d87934cf32710a3da97bafa1ef0dec2a.jpeg

Looks great!  May I ask your technique please?  

 I have a rough technique that is a combination of electro etching and water slide decals, but I am limited by the quality of my printer (which I think I can fix by printing at Staples or other places that have a high-end printer).  And also just that I am not using pad printing, which is obviously much nicer if you you know what you are doing.  Would gladly share my method if interested

 I made this one from scratch from a piece of sheet aluminum (bought the lumed markers). Hardest part was drilling the marker holes!!!   Case is a little beat up as I have used for a long time previously for different build.  ST1903 movement

I think I will take all my Achievements to watchuseek 

I would think that is a shame since you could show your achivements here, without any strings attached,if you from the beginning suggested it to be  a walkthrough would be a different issue.
There is probably more than me who likes your achivements here.

I can show one of my achivements at the same time, a dial pad printing original etched into a metal plate  🙂 . 

The black parts are the etched details ready to be filled with dial paint .

Keep up the good work and stay here.

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Chief · Posted

      So I found what I believe is the setting lever screw! Am I right in thinking the screw next to the click is the correct one for the setting lever? However if it is, it doesn't fit in the hole which I believe is for it! I can get the lever to sit nicely on the stem and line up with a hole, but the screw only goes as far as the shoulder and stops. It's as though the hole is too small! The dial side has been disassembled by the way, the other wheels are in my tray

      Gilding after silver soldering

      By AlanB · Posted

      When faced with say a pocket watch bridge which is cracked, silver soldering to repair is often the only option (hopefully someone wasn't there before hand with soft solder). I can generally do this succesfully and tidily with a small torch and miniscule pieces of silver solder, but on parts which were mercury amalgam gilded the heat can have have a deleterious effect on the finish.   I keep wondering if there's a good way to refinish these - and despite having the needful items would rather avoid using the mercury process.   In the past for electronic work I've gold plated PCBs but this involved gold potassium cyanide solution, which also doesn't realy belong at home. I've read that there are now safer alternatives but couldn't find more detail (and importantly how similar are the results to amalgam gilding, since I wouldn't want to refinish the whole watch). Pointers would be very welcome (and yes, I know solutions containing gold won't be cheap!) Alan

      By JonC · Posted

      Ok so with the great answers for my previous question may I ask what these two attachments are used for. The one with the red knob is I assume used for hand setting the seconds hand? Jon

      Roamer Searock Crystal problem

      By Zedster · Posted

      According to Cousins site I need to look at document G22 as I think I need an ATGB at 304 but I cant find this size in G22 doc. The last thing I want to do is order the wrong one😳  Unless I cant see the wood for the trees 😆 I could be looking at the wrong style, I assume its classed as Round plastic Armed  https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/wide-ring-gold-atgb
