Jocke, have you got a pic by pic of a watch being built ?, not one part changed but the whole process of making a watch ?.

Love your website & look forward to updates 👍🏻.

Nice piece of metal.
Is it a 5 digit Submariner case?

@Jocke
Do you know why your "pre-press" also have the lugs cut out?

I ask this because I'm familar with the picture below without the lugs cut out.
