Here are three pens I made recently with some of CaptG's fine watch part blanks. Comment welcome. Thanks for looking.

Stunning!!! Congratulations to both you and Capt G. He makes some awesome blanks and you really did a fine job of turning them beautifully.
I'm always a little partial to the Minnie and Micky blanks...but the big ones are just amazing. Doc

Are the watch "face" pieces stickers or are they real? The only reason I am asking is because of the price of Rolex watch parts. Thanks.

Don.

I was also wondering that too, ^ but i think it is real. sweet pens, i wish i had your nerves to turn one of those pens

Yes...all the watch parts are real. CaptG sells both certified (real) and non-certified (who knows) rolex faces. You do have to pay a premium for the certified real.

I was intimidated too at first, but if you're comfortable turning and finishing acrylic, then you should be OK with these. You should also know how to do a CA finish, since that's the way to recover should you accidentally expose the edge of a watch part.
