Just finished a Cartier Roadster

Just finished setting diamonds on a Cartier Roadster for one of our clients. What do you guys think?

Wow! That is a beautiful piece of work.

How do you do this? Do you drill tiny holes into the case and if so how do the individual diamonds lock in?

I'm just curious ... if you have pictures of different stages along the project would be very informational.

Thanks and regards
Amit

From craftmanship point of view very impressive. However from a tastefulpoint of view, pretty vulgar!

beautifully done and though I am not a bling guy, this case looks 'brillinat' (pun intended)

a job done very well.
