StormTooper4 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I don't reckon too much on the watches but that movement is a corker. That balance wheel is spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Pretty, especially the movement, but Damascus steel isn't really that suited to watch use as it's a carbon steel, which means it rusts. You'd have to coat the steel to protect it, and long term a thin clear coat won't give much protection, even inside the watch. I have a few hand made japanese sashimi knives made from proper Damascus steel and they require oiling after cleaning to maintain their color and prevent rust. There are stainless damascus look a likes used by some knife makers but they never have the strong patterning that carbon has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
