    CNC Making a Wrist Watches Housing..

    Noo not Apple but other luxury things like watches and jewelry.
    Since my studies in Black Forest I hooked a heart on mechanical wrist watches ... far from beein able to effort a Breitling or other pilots chronograph

    Why reach for speed, when you could have precision instead!!!
