Making Watch Dial for ETA 6497 clone on CNC3020

[@JamesScarborough-i1w]

I spent days preparing samples for photomicrograph samples and didn’t have the result you got. Beautiful.

[@watchmakeratelier]

🙏 thank you !

[@RenauxChristian]

Nice work, and I would have loved to see how you detach the dial from the brass rod.

[@watchmakeratelier]

thanks! Previously I do heat fixture till superglue softened and detach dial with thin knife, but recently just using thin knife and cut under dial but carefully to not to band it. also stopped using acetone to clean dial after detach -just clean with knife and metal brush. Please refer to my other videos for more info.

Love the work, amazing results

[@watchmakeratelier]

Thanks!

Great work! Hand made leather strap too I think? Maybe consider using a piece of straight wood clamped to the desk to hold the wet or dry sandpaper in place. You can use the edge of the wood to keep the grain parallel. I think a very good result, I would be proud of that work and making a video too! It's not easy. Well done!

[@watchmakeratelier]

thanks a lot for your comment! For sandpaper, I have to use very flat surface and more water will solve issue, but thanks for your idea! Ya....it is hand made strap :)))

It's very hard for me to find a watch I like, I'm very into very beautiful dials. I LOVE THIS DIAL. It's so so so pretty. I'm looking now into making my own dial and the hardest part is coming up with an idea that I would like if I saw it in a store shelf. Good job man.

[@watchmakeratelier]

Thank you.

Digging the soundtrack. 👍

[@stuartash8151]

Very nice dial.

[@watchmakeratelier]

Thanks🙏

[@metamorphosis4673]

Great work mate...can you please elaborate on how you create design model for the component and the software you use for programming. Cheers 🥂

[@watchmakeratelier]

Hello, thank for the comment! I'm planing to make video on this process, I use Adobe Illustrator for design and Fusion 360 for programming.

[@kristantime]

What kind of paint do you use for watch dial, as i see this paint is very resistanse?

[@adamh7947]

That is amazing work. Have you considered using a Fiber Laser instead of the CNC machine? Is there an advantage to the CNC that the Fiber Laser can't match?

[@watchmakeratelier]

Thanks🙏 yes I did, and I do believe it will do great a good job but with great difference. Here is why i use CNC : Laser can not make sharp enough ages of the cut (close to bright cut). It is difficult to control depth of cut precisely. Not to mention, facing, drilling, profiling.... But again, there is great work done by others using laser.

[@iroau]

What is the brand of your inc machine. Can you add a link to your description please?

[@watchmakeratelier]

I will add details to unboxing video comment

[@AnthonySmith-sc4zs]

So cool!

[@watchmakeratelier]

Thanks!🙏

[@shelbyglazer3948]

What make and model milling machine are you using?

[@watchmakeratelier]

Hello. Please refer this video for details: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIW0qZaElNR0pdk

[@k__c__]

What is the liquid you are pouring while the machine is working?

[@watchmakeratelier]

this is water soluble cutting oil. I have mist spray, but it is way too much for this work and don't have to run compressor :)

[@k__c__]

@@watchmakeratelier thank you, great video

[@BradyBegeman]

Maybe Garryflex for the radial finish?

[@watchmakeratelier]

Thanks for advice. Will try next time🙏👍

[@rishik3711]

[@watchmakeratelier]

Please refer my latest video on feet attachment. Thanks

What is the average price to restore an antique watches from the 1960s

[@watchmakeratelier]

Ricardo. I don't do restoration of watches unfortunately so cannot advice here🙏

[@tpiros]

What programme do you use for CNC?

[@watchmakeratelier]

I use Mach3 on CNC side and Fusion360 for programming

[@tpiros]

@@watchmakeratelier thank you

[@StaffordLaw-v2i]

Now think about how George Daniels used to do this all by hand...

[@watchmakeratelier]

Absolutely love his work 😍

[@carlosseral5342]

Hi. The music is driving me mad. Commentary would be better from my perspective.

[@watchmakeratelier]

Right. I'm still trying to start speaking on camera....maybe one day

[@Thomas-1986]

so demanding, who the hell are you...
