    Just love your videos. Informs me, surprises me - and it calms me down. Keep up the great presentation, Cameron.

    Cameron, the music you use is timeless, soothing and sounds eerily familiar even though I've only heard it a handful of times. Love these videos. I'm making a career change to Professional Watchmaking and one day I'm sure our paths will cross.

    I was racking my brain how you created a rotating bezel with hash marks and numbers that align with the corresponding dial points.
    Especially since it is an integrated bezel and not an insert.
    For example, did you struggle with the font spacing? I would imagine it must have been a struggle. Also, indexing where the click begins and ends...
    It must have taken a lot of work.

      Great question!

      Yes! it is quite tricky to make a solid metal bezel and align everything perfectly so that it also matches the watch dial alignment. The only adjustability is the clicking spring that can be shortened or lengthened for alignment.
      The goal during machining it to get enough accuracy that the teeth cut into the back of the bezel are matched/aligned to the machined engraving on the front of the bezel. Very tough to do!

    What's the model microscope you are using.

      In the video I am using an Olympus STM7 measuring microscope. There are other options that are more advanced today as the STM7 is about 8 years old now.

    How bad I wish I had access to your shop...I recently reverse engineered a SW300 using a used Telecentric lens and microscope camera. Came out well enough but struggled a some of the larger bridges.

      That is a major challenge you took on and accomplished. With time you will have a dream shop too. Thank you for watching!
