I like the Orient brand watches for the level they compete at. Not too overdone like some of the others...

Looks good Mike, in the last two days I've recieved notices that I have a package requiring my signature to deliver, damn had to work late both days! Hopefully I get it tomorrow.

Are the two off center links (on your Omega) multiple pieces or is it one piece that is contoured? Is the left "button" an escape valve or something else?

RWhisenand · 03-07-2015, 07:01 AM

The button on the left of the face is an escape valve with a date wheel corrector integrated into it. The off centered links appear to be one piece with a machined contour.

RWhisenand · 03-07-2015, 08:15 AM

On closer inspection they are seperate pieces.

Nice Rob, congrats.

I'm looking for a pocket watch that I can tweak.
I'd like it to be faceless, transparent on both sides to view the clockwork, and cheap (but reasonably durable.
Ideally it wouldn't have any face, but I'll likely have to pull the hands and remove the face. That's fine.
I may also engrave the bigger gears.
It's just a fun project I want to knock out for myself.

Both covers will be cut out, inlaid, and 3d.
Once I've done an inexpensive pocket watch I may do another more expensive one?

Any suggestions?
Links?
I found some on Amazon but figured you guys would know what's best for my money.
I'm thinking around 50 bucks?
Help me with the price, too, if you will.
