That would make a cool video. One about the entire process.
Looking at your page I like the look of the Airfield greyhound dial with the red seconds hand, I can see why it is sold out. Are you going to be at the District Time Watch show? @TheTimeBum is one of the organizers.

I was hoping to be, but I can't make it this time. For the Airfield, I have 7 no-date watches left in total, and I can assemble those to be any of the sold out styles. I'm just getting close to being sold out of all of them soon.
Do you pressure test these after assembly?

Yes I have a pressure tester, but there is no need to check unless there is a known leak, the tester will show you where that leak is. The watches are engineered to high water pressure and it is the gaskets and quality of the case, crown, and case back machining that make them waterproof, my opening it up has no effect on water resistance.

That being said, do you to take your watch for a plunge??

Yes, always, I never take it off even in the shower. I am also a certified diver up to the rescue diver level, and I have taken many of my watches diving, I never worry about them, I know how they are put together.
