Holy... how much force do you use when setting time?

I always ate my veggies- I am strong and big

but the best thing is: i finished the watch and i love it





Now waiting for the hour wheel to take this beauty out.

I think it's more the Schnitzel than the veggies


Wow wow wow
The result is great!!!

How did you secure the movement in the case?

[bluesrat]

for the moment with the unitas-ring, screws and a small piece of copper. I'll visit my old company this week to use the lathe. I will make a new, bettter fitting ring using the pocket watch case as you suggested.
