Building my watch box
Hi Crunchers
Thought i would share progrss on a watch box I am building dedicated to my Bell & Ross watch collection. Some of you may have noticed, I am a BR fan.
The base of the watch box is a piece of airframe, from what I don't know. I wanted to build something that paid homage to the aviation inspired watches of Bell & Ross so the sides are clad with sheet plastic which eventually will be painted flat aluminium. The edges are all had cut and riveted in place.
There is still a lot of work to do and a lot(!)of fettling to make it all fit.
Eventually it will have illumination on the inside, which is already jigged up, and lime green clear perspex for the door.
I will post more on this as it progresses. Its been at least 4 years in the making but had a long pause while I moved house twice.
I am in my early 50s. Been collecting for long time. Mainly interested in dive watches and micro brands. Bell & Ross one of my favourite brands.
