Finished the full restoration of my 1975 Diamatic. Did a bunch of work to the case. Someone previously tried to polish it but did a poor job. In my research it looked like the case had horizontal graining, so I tried to replicate it, with a high polish on the beveled edge and sides. The movement rebuild went great. I got it on a custom made leather strap.

This was a project I started quite a while ago, but put aside because I lost the spring for the upper balance shock setting (rookie move trying to use tweezers to grab it), and then forgot about it for several months. I think it came together nicely.

Thought you just did these overnight on a whim!

Just kidding.
