Is this Watch Pen Ok?

[Dalepenkala]

Ok I promise I will not post any more watch part pens! I know this type of pen has really been posted many times (me included) I just finished up 7 of the Sierras and a Majestic. I still have 2 more Majestic's left to do and 1 more solid silver and 18kt gold hardware coming from Mike Redburn that I'm waiting on. All these along with the 3 left to do will be in DC with Jen and I in August.

Comments welcome good or bad.

Thanks for looking!

Nicely done. The workmanship is fabulous and the F&F is spot on.

The only thing I'm personally not crazy about is the double/triple faces on some of the Sierras. IMHO, they take up too much real estate on the barrels.

Beautiful work! I guess we know where all the dead watches have been going lately.

Clearly, it's five o'clock somewhere!

Those are spectacular! I especially like the face on the one in the bottom center. Someday I hope to be that good..........

Nice work! That's an expensive trey! The blue one really pops, I like it and the black face Breitling the best

Thanks John!
That triple is actually a 6 dial pen. The other 3 are on the opposite side not facing the camera. I wanted to do something out of the ordinary so I thought I'd try a couple of doubles and then the 6 dials. There are actually many other parts in the 6 dial pen. The picture isn't the best. To much angle. Probably should have been more directly above the pens. I didn't think the DF would be quite that bad.

Outstanding work Dale, Spot on fit and finish. I would like to find a nice watch part blank like those.

Those are absolutely, incredible and beautiful, I would like to be able to get one for my wife and I at some point. I am not sure that I would be able to come up with the parts and pieces to try to make any for myself.

[mark james]

Oh those look nice... Maybe next year!

Only critique: I agree that the few with multiple-faces are possibly too busy.
The rest are wonderful!!! Keep up the good work and stop sucking up the watch parts from EBay!!!

Really NIce work!

Be proud!

I just wanted to try multiple dials specifically geared for the ladies. The ladies dials are small and dainty so I added an extra one for the double dial. The one that looks like its got 3 dials actually has a total of 6. 3 on the opposite side.

Thanks for the comments!

OK... A good experiment - and you may LIKE the result. So the result is a matter of preference and a possible customer desire, no problem with that! (I still like your single dials better - but I understand what you were trying to do!).

Basically..Great pens! :banana:

Those look awesome. You should be proud!

Beautiful work, Dale. Fit and finish are spot on as usual. The pairings of the blanks with the kits goes very well.

Good luck with that plan. I might as well confess, I am a hoarder!

Do the sierra/Gatsby style have the standard 27/64 tube, or are they the "grand" style with the 3/8 tube?

David the Sierra vista uses the 27/64" tube.
