Gustafsson & Sj?gren Damascus Vile Watch & Oden Knife Set
This is the set that should have been for a while now. Swedish watch maker Gustafsson & Sj?gren (GoS) will soon release this limited edition watch and knife set. Johan Gustafsson is actually a bladesmith who specializes in creating beautiful Damascus steel. His work has been transformed into watch cases and dial in the GoS brand, but now you can get one of their watches and knives together in a beautiful set.Artisan type work with this aesthetic is either something you love or hate. You can't deny the incredible level of detail and work that goes into creating the complex patterns of this type of folded and then blacksmithed metal. What I really like is that between the knife and watch you get a range of different Damascus steel styles and patterns. The set really does include a large range of GoS's capabilities. Plus, given the nature of Damascus steel, no two pieces of metal look exactly the same.The watch has a rather funny name and is called the GoS Vile. Yea, don't ask why - m

Time to do some more LASER WELDING on a Trench Watch Case ! ! ! ! !
Hey guys !It's time to do some more LASER WELDING on a Trench Watch Case ! ! ! ! !I bought this EXTREMELY RARE Fahys Trench Watch Case last week and it arrived today.Fahys started making this design in 1917.You might see one or possibly two of these cases per year if you are lucky.What makes this case so rare is the weight and size, VERY rare to see them this big in a size 0s.It weighs 16.8 grams of sterling silver, your run of the mill size 0s sterling case is only about 11 grams and they are VERY thin gauge.The measurements are 40.5mm lug to lug, 33mm without the crown, 16mm lug diameter and the lugs themselves are 1.7mm thick.The crystal on this case is HUGE for a size 0s case, it takes a 28.5mm crystal ! ! !EVERYTHING about this case is HEAVY DUTY ! ! ! ! !But, as you can see the crown tube has been broken off and is in need of the LASER WELDER ! ! ! !So, I am going to bring it to my guy tomorrow and drop if off so a replacement crown tube can be installed.You will need a donor cas
