Any watchmakers on here?

[Josh-L]

Long story short I decided to build my own watch. I can’t get the hands on right though because I can’t freaking see good enough lol. I might have messed the minute hand up trying to do it without enough magnification too. I just need someone to install the hands and/or tell me I need to order another set cause I’m a dummy and was impatient. I’m in okc area.

You really should check out some of thor447's watch rehab threads. He even started a youtube channel. Pretty fascinating stuff!

Which method are you using to set the hands?

Do you mind mentioning what kit you started with? After all the watch stuff I’ve watched on this forum I started having build your own watch stuff pop up. I’m sorely tempted but I’m afraid I’ll end up with a small box of scrap parts and a nifty set of barely used tools.

Will you be posting that in the classifieds?

I’d probably hang on to it so my son has more crap to deal with once they finally nail the lid on my box.

Yeah, I probably should have worded that differently. Here’s a couple pics
