I use my fren workshop machine lo.

Finishing is very rough compared to yobokies I touched b4.

And there's no way he will change the grade of sand to get a smoother finishing. his customer need this kinda finishing.

Last but not least, u have to remove movement, crystal n watever b4 I do for u. Install back urself.

The last part usually puts ppl off liao esp u have to go watchmaker twice. I posted pics b4 u can check them out under my posts.
