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.

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.
 
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.
 
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!). :smile:

Basically..Great pens! :banana:

Beautiful work, Dale. Fit and finish are spot on as usual. The pairings of the blanks with the kits goes very well.
 
Do the sierra/Gatsby style have the standard 27/64 tube, or are they the "grand" style with the 3/8 tube?
