Another bulino watch dial

[Tsu]

I'm obsessed with watch engraving lately. This is a stainless watch case with a bulino watch dial and ETA 2824 movement. The nestlings are inlaid with fine silver. Since this is my first time try to inlay metal into such a thin plate which is only 0.4 mm, silver could be more economic than gold. Beside, nestlings are supposed to be much whiter than rest of the scenery.

Here we have the watch assembled.



It is more easy to tell the different colors of stainless steel and fine silver under microscope.

Very well done, what method did you use to inlay your silver?

a delightful subject done as well as one could possibly want ! this rules! thanks for showing.i am also interested in the details of how you did the inlay. mighty thin support for an inlay. i'd assume no room for any error there.

Thank you, monk. It was regular inlay method. If you take a close look, you'll find the mistake I made, which some stainless tooth appears on bird's body. The background removal should went deeper. The whole piece will be ruined if I inlied gold. Try to be more careful next time.
