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.

      Accutron 218 transistors

      Update: I posted over on NAWCC and it looks like I melted the fine coil wires where they come into the solder lugs. After dropping the heat way down on my iron and being absurdly careful, I have a humming fork!

      Rolex 2235 escape wheel jewel setting replacement

      By noirrac1j · Posted

      Hell0 @nevenbekriev. Thank you for your advice. I have removed the old setting using my staking set--I will keep the KIF spring, since it is still good.  I am awaiting the replacement setting, and will update when I do that. In the mean time, I looked at the escape wheel and it looks ok. What do you think?

      Seitz Tool - Help determine if Seitz or not

      By Hawaiikook808 · Posted

      Aloha All, I recently bought this Seitz tool on eBay, but it is missing some pushers reamers.  I ended up ordering new parts for those that were missing before I received the actual Seitz tool (bad idea).   Upon inspecting the pushers/bits, I noticed 23 of the 56 provided with the set had no numbers. Further inspection revealed a huge difference in the quality of those unnumbered.  Do all Seitz pushers/bits have a number on them?  I'm pretty sure that 33 of the 56 I received are cheap Chinese knockoffs.  The worst part is that I ordered $80 of parts to replace the missing pushers/bits, and now I'm looking to return the tool. I'm not crazy, right? If these are Seitz parts, they should all be numbered, correct? The first two pictures are the Seitz (numbered), and the other pictures are the suspect parts.  Will I even be able to get a refund?  Thanks, Frank

      Generic screws for unknown movements

      By Geotex · Posted

      Chief- The picture below shows the three parts from the dial side that are most useful to "fingerprint" a movement in conjunction with the diameter of the movement.  That's why forum participants are always asking for dial side photos in posts asking for identification.  As far as the setting lever screw, it actually sits loose in the main plate. The threads engage the setting lever below, and the elongated stem above the shoulder sticks through a hole in one of the bridge plates so that it's held captive if unscrewed all the way.  So you may be fine as far as that goes.
