Hi everyone a little update on my watchmaking course. I have been learning to make winding stem. Also bought some tools for measuring. Also making the slot graver for the winding stem.And got my student card And a nice email from Breitling Uk. And I cant wait to go to basel world for the fist time. The winding stem in the picture was my first attempt and this was before I put the slot in the piece. Thank :) :)
