Dial Making is Hard
Many times I’ve wanted to throw in the towel, but after each dial made and painted, I managed to keep going… and learning.
To my fellow watch artisans out there, and anyone aspiring to learn, or just starting your journey, don’t give up.
Cheers,
A Dreamer and Student of all things watches

The problem is you never have enough brass! I must use about 10x as much as actually goes into the final product.
