bushing it to the limit

 It seems I have to replace the bushing for the maltese cross so I have to drill out the old one and rivet in a new hand made one. Notice the pearlage on the barrel cover which is repeated throughout all the flat surfaces of the barrels exterior on this movement, this movement is really high grade! 


Here is the barrel cover of the GP movement all glued up with the new bushing just to the left.

just a few photos from around the shop

 Heres a dial side view of the movement from my grandfather's longines watch. Excellent finishing real old school Longines quality!
 This behemoth belongs to a travel clock I was given.
 Another photo of the longines. Cant quite make out the strait grain on the bridges and the hand beveling will take a better picture soon.
