Not exactly watch related stuff, but it can be enjoyed with a favourite watch while sitting on the porch during summer.
Restored my grandfather's humidifier, refinished the hinges, polished the lacquer and went over the red cedar inside with a fine grit sandpaper.

Really beautiful, no issue with the stem+adapter length? The raffle crown is 0,9 mm thread?

Hi,
Many thanks. Image
You’re right, the raffle crown with 0,9 mm thread.
The adapter I use is 1.2 - 0.9 mm. So it fits to the stem and the Raffles crown.
Regarding the length: yes, stem and adapter have to be adapted, shortened etc. You have to do this step by step by adapting both is small steps.
But at the end no issues.
