Sinn Nabo 17

The bezel!
The bezel had me stumped for weeks I tried everything in my head to try and create a real looking bezel with an outer knurled grip. I initially used the card roll which was the correct diameter. I created the inner face where the numbers sat but I could not create that knurled look to a acceptable degree.
It was at this point that a friend at work mentioned he had a similar clock which the Sinn Nabo was based on. it was a German Junghans WWII clock. I borrowed the clock and made a cast of its bezel.
I bought a casting kit on the net and made a mould and cast a number of perfect bezels. likewise as I had cast left I made the winder from the same kit.
