With laser etchers getting cheaper, making your own watch movement (or parts for repair) are a real possibility. Has anyone here tried to do anything like that? Is there are particular reason that it would be doomed to fail? CO2 lasers would be limited to pretty thin metal stock, but yttrium lasers, though too expensive for the average hobbyist, would be well within reach for a well-equipped watchmaker, and would be capable of reproducing just about anything that could be fabricated from flat stock. Anybody?? Anybody? Bueller?
