Very nice work you are doing. On another note, below is the pictures of the manufacturing process of one bronze watch. From a Cus8n bronze block to the end product.

Very nice step by step!

Are you a watchmaker by trade?

What movement do you plan to put into it?

Good thing you will polish the case, the edges look sharp.

Enough to wash hand and if caught in the rain. I admire the hardwork and home-made craftmanship that's gone into the watch.  :thumbsup:

How many of us can wear a self-made watch? Bravo!  :Cheers:

You are really skillful. Great job.  :thumbsup:

So the blue hands come with the skeleton ETA movement?

Also, mind showing how you make the case back? is it screw down?
