w3 38mm Hand Brushed Stainless Steel Automatic Military Watch


Description: Brand new custom made pilot watch. Comprised of hand selected high quality components. Personally hand assembled and tested in my Wilson, NC workshop one piece at a time with extreme care and attention to detail. Each movement is run in for two days, monitored and painstakingly adjusted for accuracy with a TYMC MTG 4000A timegrapher prior to shipping. In order to get the most accurate timing results we remove the complete automatic assembly, adjust the beat and regulator arms by hand while leaving the micro adjustment screw in the dead center factory position setting. All seals set and lubed with silicone DC7 waterproof grease.
