Re: DIY Watch build kit
you can finish off the dial with some guilloché in the garage, Jay?

I’ll let my son build one before I try.

Re: DIY Watch build kit
That looks cool but my watch working tools are:
1. Beer
2. Awl
3. Hammer
I’m not sure I’d do a good job

I realized early on in life that I lack the patience for small & intricate protects. Most of my childhood airplane models were barely worthy of a firecracker

Re: DIY Watch build kit
Man for the price, I really like the idea... but I don't like the dials! Hour markers are too small, I don't like the branding at 6 and the "9" should be eliminated to increase the circumference of the subdial.

I agree Joe - they almost had me, but those dials ...
