    Work on the crown stem first because you have to put it in and out of the case several times. Do the hands last as they are the most delicate.

    • @kyle_munoz
      @kyle_munoz  Місяць тому +1

      The size of your case would affect the size of the face you order as well as the bracelet if you order a separate one. It normally says the size of both of those in the case listing. other than that, all the same 👍

    quick question, so ive build my watch aswell and for the stem, do you have to always unscrew it to pull it out and change the time or is there anyway i can always have it screwed in then just pull to change time(like normal watches???????), i keep thinking i made a mistake on that part someone please let me knoww.
