Great stuff!

Are there any sites that explain how to go about making your own watch?

information is out there but scattered around in pieces - i emailed someone else from here with a bunch of links when they asked me. Email in trust and I will forward on if i can find it.

Looks good. You couldn't tell it was home made from the pics. In real life it may be a different story though!

It's not - it looks good even under a loupe ;)

Nice work! How long did it take?

I can case a watch very quickly now - perhaps an hour, but luming the dial took a couple of hours and the research / buying a while longer.

Could I have that email if you find it please as well?

Love your watches and would love to try and do the same.

It's a real shame you don;t sell them as they would sell like hot cakes!

When I find it I will send it on.

Thanks for the encouragement - I may well sell them in earnest at some point, but not ready to yet. I have some ideas brewing though!
 
so you recycle old watches and make newer looking ones? kinda thing?
Do you have 100s of little springs and things in pots and jars and drawers?
