First attempt at a "home made" watch.
OK I bought the case, dial and hand set and utilised a Tissot ETA 2824 from an irreparably damaged watch and put it all together as a "learning experience" but I have truly caught the bug.
I did learn that the second hand is a fiddly little rascal though!
Need to adjust the date wheel at some point though but since I built it for my 14 year old lad I don't think he will notice.
Congrats on your first home-made! You dare, you win!
Thanks for the encouragement. After finishing it I did spend the rest of the weekend surfing the 'net looking for "bits" (to raised eyebrows and barbed comments from "she who must be obeyed").
Hehehe, just go on, that's true passion who bites you amigo: She will have to understand it one day...
