No David, the jewels were counted yesterday. It were 39 btw!
I'll give one hint... The first one is from a 36mm case, the second one from a 26mm.

Cody... I should post more about what? Every question that's asked gets an answer by somebody that knows...
You guys usually don't need me! If there would be something that ONLY I can answer, pm me and I will gladly help if I can. Like the jewel thing... I didn't know until I actually went and counted the damn things myself!

So if there is anything like that that you would like me to post about, let me know...

Timber Loftis · 23 February 2009, 04:06 PM

Did you wind up with leftover parts?

JJ Irani · 23 February 2009, 04:13 PM

Not a bloody RADO, I hope!!

WatchSmith · 23 February 2009, 09:25 PM

Where do you do your watchmaking? Jewelry store?

Don't be rude Triplock.

IMO that was a very poor throw away line.

Read previous threads and posts.

As Nick requested, here's some more "history" on me!

I was born and raised in Belgium (I speak Flemish). I went to watchmaking school in Antwerp in 1999, at age 19. After 2 years I was considered a watchmaker, but I desided to do an extra year to specialize in modern chronographs (like Valjoux 7751). I also did an internship that year at ETA in Grenchen, Switzerland. I graduated first of my class in 2002. Right after school I started working for Breitling Benelux. Soon after I got married to my American (military) husband, we moved to the USA in 2003. In San Diego California, I started working as a watchmaker for an independant Rolex service center. I worked there for 1.5 years and then we moved to Arizona. I work here for an AD for Rolex, TagHeuer, Omega, Baume&Mercier, etc.
In the mean time I went to the Rolex training in Pennsylvania.
I consider myself a pretty skilled "modern watchmaker", meaning I don't know much about vintage... But for the time being I don't feel any desire to learn about them, since it seems way to complicated for my simple mind
Hope you guys quit assuming all watchmakers are men!

Triplock, I am not very clever but I can push two buttons.

Hi Vanessa, sorry if you were embarassed in any way.
