so i think to build it with my steel artist friend who can works his magic to make my dream become a reality.. so we started to discuss about the design, movement to be installed etc.
the construction would be :
1. bezel (system would be similar like mille metri, using 3 point screw to retainer)
2. retainer (would be screw in 6 point to the middle case, while it clip the plexi glas, also similar with mille metri)
3. plexi thickness around 5mm ish
4. middle case (using movement holder)
5. caseback (screw to middle case, 6 point)
6. lug (screw to middle case)
the material is using a bronze and duralium for the caseback (i dont want my wrist become patina a while later after wearing it :lol: )
NOTE : all parts will be made by hand using lathe machine except (movement,dial,hands set, strap)
so here is the little of the project of the watch, comment and critics are most welcome :clap: :wave: :thumbup:
the middle case

Nice project.

later i will post the lathe machine, its just a chinese made lathe ;D
Cool... But the screw in lugs are too industrial... It ll be great if can refine a bit...
yup, im planning using a Torx screw or Hex screw for it, its just a mock up to how the lugs goes with the case :Dancing_banana:
Waiting for further updates on the progress with bated breath :thumbsup:
Wow.. looking forward for the outcome
just wait, i will surely post the progress :Dancing_banana:

Very nice, how come your friends has a lathe? does he have some engineering shop or something?

Yes, he's a machinist..but mostly his work is auto parts and he willing to help me to do this project on his spare time.
actually he has a normal machinist set up, except the CNC. he has a milling, big ass lathe, medium lathe, watchmaker lathe and other machinist tools ;D
nothing fancy ;D

rotatable diver bezel need the a different pip for count down on oxygen tank instead of 12 similar pip at every 5 min
yeah i know, thats for the real diver watch..this one just a diver wannabe :Laughing_on_floor:
at first i want to using a ball bearing as the index, but it keep falling off from the bezel even i've tried many different brand of epoxy :Laughing_on_floor:
maybe i will made another bezel that using a plexi insert with a correct diver index later :Cheers:
