Wow! Nice work. But there's a problem...

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's far too sexy for you. Thus, send it my way promptly.

Wow - Seeing all the pieces laid out, that was great. Made me think twice about trying to get into (minor) watch repair with my jittery hands :)

I like it and you did good on the movement, but I'd have rebrushed and replaced that damaged insert. Are they hard to find?

They are impossible to get mate. It’s not actually an insert, the bezel is a complete unit. If I ever see one I’ll grab it, but it’s not likely...
