Vintage Watch Recase

This project was to make a new case for a 1960s Omega watch movement. The 3D-printed aluminum turned out really nice, although I did have to hand-shave it down in a few places to make the tolerances fit (I'll keep that in mind for the future). I also polished it myself to give it a shinier look. PCBWay was very helpful throughout the process, and it was delivered faster than I thought it would be!
