Hey gang,
Well it took a while.......................7 years actually.................
This thing was put on the back burner while I mulled things over for what was supposed to be a couple months then life got in the way.
I made the case 7 years ago and its been in my drawer waiting for me to actually be home and work on it, my work load is slowly lifting leaving me with more time to make these.
This is a proofing piece made of bronze for ease of machining on my conventional machines at a bigger scale then what's in the works, the planned one is in stainless steel and is equipped with a 28 series or 77 series ETA maybe chrono i'm on the fence the drawings are done I just have to decide which one.
While making this I revised a few things for the next one
1-No case screws showing in the front only the strap clamp screws
2- Smaller crown (for a smaller case)
3- Dial needs to be closer to the crystal or a chapter ring not sure
4- Some internal design aspects like movement holding
I unfortunately don't have any pictures of the case build from 7years ago but you get the drift.
Let me know what you would change your input is always welcomed (lets brain storm it)
The just finished case back then
