Excellent work, Tribal.

Apply a bit of varnish on the pearl with a tiny brush and it will look much better.

Did you use a vise when drilling the side case holes or free hand? I wish I had a watch case that I didn't care about to practice with. I would enjoy doing this kind of work but practicing on a darn nice watch is a tough pill to swallow.

Enjoy your new MBW!

Your pictures are amazing, "Schune" very nice....

Great job on everything.

On the drilling, if you ever worked with metals, you know that many times you drill a pilot hole (small guide hole before the larger drill is used), since the CG holes are already there, these holes act as pilot holes and guide the drill to the correct place. The drill will follow the pilot holes and the new larger holes will be exactly in the same place as the old ones... If you clamp the case down to drill these holes, you have to align the drill exactly to the existing holes, very hard to impossible to do, if your off even a bit, you will have egg shaped holes...

I always free hand drill the holes as it produces the best results (ask any machinest and they will tell you the same - at least the machinests I know tell this to me...).

Great job Tribal, wonderful to see your work again...

Thanks for the info, The Zigmeister & Tribal.

I have the dremel and correct SnapOn cobalt bits so I may give it a try. You guys make this sound like it's a simple surgery.
