Watch Parts - Blue Heaven
Here is yet another in the series off watch parts
Armor Plates, Crinkle Aluminum Painted Metallic Blue and 36 (i counted them 5 time with 3 different answers) Watch Gears
Very similar to the other watch gears pens i have shown this week, they all have their own character, its amazing how many people try to feel the gears, only to find that they are dead smooth.
Thanks For Looking
C&C Welcome

Another beauty Mik. The brass gears look great against the blue.

Something about that one that just appeals to me. Maybe it's because I have always loved Blue Heaven milk shakes since I was a kid.
How do you manage to source so many watch gears? I would have thought than in this age of digital they would be hard to come by.Dallas

Its precisely why the older watches are a bit easier to come by,no one wants them much less repair them, a few people on ebay sell the parts in packets,for hobbiests and perhaps steam punk creations cheers ~ John
And Mik you are really making these your "own" hehe, nice work againG'day all !Enjoy your stay !!!

thanks for the feedback guys
yes ebay is a great source for the gears, i got them in a 100gram lot from Pomgolia, there is always a mixture in the pack, most of the weight is in plates and screws pretty much unusable bits for us on pens but i got all of these pens out of 1 lot and still have a few more pens worth
a friend whose father collects scrap metal sometimes picks up 20 liter drums full of them, i gave him a watch parts pen so hopefully (cross fingers) he remembers me next time he gets 1 or 2 buckets of gears
i think thats 6 shown, 2 left to post, 2 more to turn, 1 left to cast, then i have to make some more, so much to do and work keeps getting in the way
all the best
