I knew there would be nipples!

I feel like I have already seen this... but still enjoyed watching the whole process. Great job!

Very nice Jocke, and impressive work as always!

Is that now an official 1680/3?

Jocke when your on.... your on!
I don't know what's more impressive, the watch of the photography.

Thank you for this thread, and thank you for being such an asset to the WIS community.
Now you can go back and roast Paul for a few months

On that iso it looks superb.
My favorite watch apart from divers is that white gold daydate you did with the ice blue dial, just beautiful.

Great post Jocke, thank you for this!

I'm curious as to what the solution (liquid) is, that the parts are cleaned with?

The blades are wedge-shaped, so when I tighten the screw to penetrate the wedges between the case and the bezel.

It is a liquid that I got with the ultrasonic cleaner. It goes well with water and citric acid as well.
