OP,
Does every RSC operate differently. I see some guys say “use this RSC, not this one” etc etc. Do you do the job from A to Z? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

Stunning watch again, great skills Bas, it's easy to overdo it I suppose and you fixed it as it should be

Is it your watch or a client’s? It looks real good.

Wow, Bas!
That looks like a lovely bit of work! I like to think you enjoy doing that kind of work. A nice change from the, 'oil and filters' type of service? Smashing piece of craftsmanship. You must be very proud of the end result. Ps. Can you explain the, 'tin disc'? |

Thanks again everyone glad you enjoyed the thread

I'm in a smaller one and am indeed responsible for the whole watch. Not just the movement or the case. If this changes then I will go work somewhere else, I want to work on the whole watch, not just one part of it. It is a client's watch (wish it was mine though! ) Quote:
The lapping machine is basically a disk that turns, ours is made so you can attach abrasive sandpaper sheets to it. In some machines the abrasive product is another disk, made of tin. Ours cannot attach such a disk. When I work on the lapping machine you'll still need to buff it afterwards on the polishing machine, because even with a very fine grit it is not a high shine surface. With a tin disk it not only takes material away quickly (for cutting chamfers, bezels, etc) but it is highly polished at the same time, so you don't have to buff it afterwards and thus keep a very crisp line. |

Nice job on the case Bas, especially the top of the lugs.
Very sharp.

Beautiful work Bas, and a lovely watch. I bet your client was ( or will be) thrilled to see that.

Yes this is certainly more enjoyable than doing a service on a DJ with 3135.. The lapping machine is basically a disk that turns, ours is made so you can attach abrasive sandpaper sheets to it. In some machines the abrasive product is another disk, made of tin. Ours cannot attach such a disk. When I work on the lapping machine you'll still need to buff it afterwards on the polishing machine, because even with a very fine grit it is not a high shine surface. With a tin disk it not only takes material away quickly (for cutting chamfers, bezels, etc) but it is highly polished at the same time, so you don't have to buff it afterwards and thus keep a very crisp line.[/QUOTE] Thanks for that Baz. Would love to see that process being done. I bet the first one you're 'let loose' on as an apprentice, is a tad nerve wracking! |
