SportsterRider Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 What a fantastic writeup, and yet another demonstration of remarkable watch smith skills. It shows, once again, that being a watch smith has as much to do with an artistic eye as it does a mechanical aptitude. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishgodeep Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 Wow R I'm blown away by this insight into your true skills in action. Seeing the level of precision you operate at and your capture of such perfect macro shots is really like looking at pages in a professionally produced watchmaking book! It's a "Ziggy's Master Class" in the making, with the end result being nothing short of an improvement over a gen rather than any kind of rep!

professor_yaffle1 Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 That's brilliant! I'm truly jealous of your skills.........and what a great way to unwind, immersing yourself in miniature machines Now, if you ever want to sell that......

Viennawatch Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 I am sometimes envious of you guys. Having so much watch knowledge and watch making/modding gadgetry... I tend to appreciate other people's watch modding skills, therefore i send everything to them... I'm to scared that i will destroy one of my watches in the process of modding... I dont have such nimble fingers! but a BEAUTIFUL watch/job! Love the Fiddy! regards VW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 @fishgodeep, It's a "Ziggy's Master Class" in the making, Not a bad header for a forum section. "Ziggy Master Class" @ Ziggy, Mate, you continue to amaze me with these skills. However, if ever there was good reason to keep on learning the fundamentals, your wonderful insight, is certainly it! Wonderful work, and pictorial! Offshore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
