Hello folks.

While browsing through some photo folders on my computer I came across some pictures that I shot a good ten years ago.
Back then I took a watch apart and put it in cast resin.

This is how it looked like right after casting.








And this was after polishing.




Makes a nice paperweight. I might wanna dig out the parts one day and see if I can reassemble it as I still have the case

Very cool! You did that yourself?

 

Yes, Sir. All by myself.

Cheers
Thomas

 

Oh my god that is brilliant AND awesome.

 

Very nice, DIBS

 

Watch brands should be taking merchandising inspirations from your work...

 

When will you start taking orders?

 

That is one way to keep all the loose parts in one place!

 

That is amazing. I would love to have one for the office. Let me know when you start your eBay store.

 

Nobody has answered the original question:

I think I can: that is a Valjoux 7750.

What do I win?

 

In fairness, I avoided answering the original question only because I couldn't. I had hoped no one would notice, smarty-smart.

 

Valjoux 7750?

 

Ah shit!

I should have refreshed the page before I answered.

 

Ditto!

I'd buy one also.

 

Thanks, folks, for all your kind replies.

Cheers

Well, it is actually a Chinese 7750 from a fake watch.
I would have sent this one to you if you had noticed this little detail

Cheers

Well, even though it's years ago when I did this I very well remember that the polishing almost killed me.
The part came out with rather uneven surfaces which I had to flatten first. Then I took sandpaper and finally grinding paste to get it this clear.
