Excellent work for first effort on that dial. There is a lot to be said for the aesthetics of something that was hand made. Even classic Rolls Royce and Ferrari bodies did not match exactly from one side to the other, because they were hand made by artisans. The ability to create something that we dreamed up has nearly become a lost art. Most things we use today were stamped out on a machine, 100's or 1000's at a time. But what you have there is something that there is only one of, with the marks of your workmanship on it. I like it!

Thank you! Your video answered my question about the strange thing where the regulator normally sits. My watch fitted with the incastar is made by Ernest Borel. The movement doesn't have much by way of markings, having been one of a batch given as prizes for mine safety awards in the '60's, but it's a quality automatic movement in an attractive case, and I intend to get it working. Sadly the quality of the engraving of the inscription on the case back is atrocious, so I will remove it.

David. Can you show a link to your baby cnc please?

What $150 Laser did you use? Great Work!! Love the way you put your Videos together.

Good job! A pie dish, I had to think for a minute. That would look nice. Was the hairspring all right? The coils didn’t look to be spaced too well. Again, great job.

落油多未必是好，带来阻力😂

That old idea that men dont sew always confused me - anyone heard of saville row?

Brilliant 👍

where did you get the watch case from?

Great job on the dial! Has a unique upscale handmade look without being too rough.

Great stuff and very informative. I'm going to have a go at this myself. Which laser did you use? You have my sympathy on the translation of wife-ese. "I don't want any chips" translates to "I'll have your chips when you get them".

💙💙👍👍

Do you know much about old glass David..

Hi David you have a lot more numbers behind you now. I wrote to you in comments last week , I mentioned you had just started and you were doing a watch called Prim. Couldn't remember then. You have come a long way

Honestly, the best thing for springs (yoke, shock, etc) is to use a plastic sheet and maneuver the spring in place. It contains any of the pinging and any of the danger.

VERY GREAT!!! WOULD LOVE TO SEE AND LEARN MORE. THEY ARE GREAT.

I have been in the business of selling Swiss watches for over three decades, and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed by your craftsmanship in creating watch straps. It is truly remarkable and a pleasure to witness. And yes, blue is beautiful.

Hello old friend I joined your site where you were doing a Czech watch I bought one and can't remember the name but wonderful. I asked are you in UK. Your talent is outstanding ash I think you make a few mistakes to keep us on our toes. The 3 d printer is a Great tweak beautiful dial. I've watched a bit/ a lot... this week. I love your comments especially what you prefer like your straight mechanical winding. I agree. Good for you... Keep up the great work. John Australia 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘

I agree with everybody here that your work is amazing! But I dare to guess that you may like like to hear remarks that don't scream "flattery". My first remark is about your screwdriver tips - they are polished out of shape. If they were first polished and then the working edges precisely ground, I would be much more impressed. The second remark is again about polishing; this time the little rusted screw head. You could just polish the front of the crew,or leave it as it is. The polishing destroyed the angularity of the part, so characteristic to this movement. It looks out of place. After saying that, I still stand behind my first sentence.

I have an ostrich skin strap, but where do you get the ostrich leg skin? Thanks. Great strap making BTW.

Wth

I'm sure you can make a tool that slids under that main spring, a puller and a cage

I wanna see the aliens spend their time on a nice old rusted one, yeah, out of the ocean 😂

3d printing a new case, won't do it, though 😂

You can Lazer 3d print 316L from dust perfectly onto that case's roughness, and it's stronger 😊

I think you put a lot of caracter in it, should keep it like that, done well for reversals, I would recommend though, when it comes to historical pieces to consult with Nekkid first

I also tell them it's just a hobby, do they believe you? I mean, when did you start? I'm 3 months in.

Magnificent and better to com

Un trabajo verdaderamente espectacular, la reparación ó servicio del reloj, como la obra de arte de la fabricación de la correa. Muchas gracias por su tiempo y por compartir su saber. Un saludo.

Great work, welldone.

I Just found one of these on ebay for $40 usd. It looks to be in good shape and it is running. It will be the next watch to be on my bench.

I do love that strap on that watch, it looks so good. It's funny because I always wondered how easy it would be to have a go at making my own straps but that is next level craftmanship and I don't think I could get anything near as good

Great video, love the strap.

Beautiful!! This guys kills the dial and then just slaps it all together. 😮

Nice.

Brilliant work,can you tell me please what pencil are you using?

I was watching watch repair videos for awhile and believe it is very simple. I guess anybody can learn to repair watches in one hour or so. I found broken watch at home and ordered tools from ebay ($10). Important thing is to hold 2-3 springs, which can fly away (or in your eye). About this rusty watch: spray penetrant, take apart, clean each part, replace whatever needs to be replaced(if you can find replacement). Thanks for the video.

I am loving your monster watch dial. Very enjoyable. I hope Mrs Saving time has released you from the doghouse.

"i had ti step away to keep menfrom hitting this thing with a hammer" lmao😂😂😂😂. Exactly why i havent tried servicing watches myself.

A true work of art museum quality mate!!🎉🎉❤❤❤

I didn't see you put any threadlock on the crown when you fitted it on the stem. Just wondered 🤔 An excellent video.

This is just me but showing me how to restore a watch with $1000s of dollars of equipment isn't a big help. Your videos are a more down to earth approach. I am working to get into the repairing of watch movements. Your video helps. Very good looking movement! You can get copper solder that has a low melting point to work with your soldering iron.

Watchmaking is so hard. Excellent first try.

Hi David, are you still making dials? I just got a hand guilloche machine, would you like a go with it and make a dial I would love to but it's a bit out my comfort zone I'm still learning to service movements, message if you do would make a great video and then I would know what to do I think it only makes circles like on sub dials but if you of set think you'd get that diamond pattern 😃

Thank you.

Magical 🎉 great job!!!!

Hi Saving Time, sincere apologies if I'm blind and missed it. I couldn't find the name of the main spring winders you used. Still very new to this amazing world and alieX versions I've seen enough warnings against but as you say Bergeon sets are waaay past my budget. Anywhoo, thanks for your time, thank you for another very educational video, really enjoyed it. Cheers

Have you asked Cousin where the deployant that you bought was made? China😂

The slippery stuff is probably fabric conditioner. Another excellent video! I'm so glad I found your channel.

Prim and proper! 👍
