Outstanding . . . ! ! I have a friend here in Copenhagen, he is a professional toolmaker, and he has worked on a couple of Navitimer cases for me in the past. When I bought this watch it had been polished a lot, it was done in a bad way, and the lugs was more or less rounded, take a look at the work he has done, he have more or less brought it back to factory finish, and that is not easy at all with a Navitimer case, take my word for that.

Is that a brand new case that he machined Kurt, or he's done that from the original? Presumably he had to build up the case in places if it is the original? |

Beautiful workmanship. How did he get the edge on the corners? Do you have before picture? BTW - do you have a publication date for your article in the BHJ? Can't wait to read it. |

Yes it is indeed beautiful workmansip, I don'thave a before picture and I have no ide as to how he did it, maybe he will respond here, we must wait and see. I wish I had a publication date, but I don't - I can tell you though that we are making progress, a couple of month from now is my best guess. On top of that I have just bought an AOPA with a diallayout that I have never seen before, the first one in 10 years of collecting. It will of course be pictured in the publication, and as soon as I have succeded in shooting a picture of it I will post it here. / Kurt B Yaffle wrote: Beautiful workmanship.

Craig, I don't know how much time he have put into it, but I'm quite certaint that if he should get paid by the hour at normal salary it would cost a fortune. / Kurt B chronodeco wrote: Very nice work indeed! Would like to know his time into this and what it costs?

No, I'm basically done with that. Kurt B Yaffle wrote: Quote: I wish I had a publication date, but I don't - I can tell you though that we are making progress, a couple of month from now is my best guess. Have you completed the article Kurt? Or are you still writing it? |
