Watch Gears and Aluminum on a Mag Cap
i spent a couple of hours bending watch gears by hand (gotta get me one of them shaping blocks), the dial was also interesting to bend, i only broke about 6 gears so all is good
the aluminum tape in the center of the Pen has been Textured which gives even greater character, the heavier tape at either end has been aged to stand apart from the rest
the component set is a magnetic cap similar to the Zen and is chrome plated
thanks for looking, C&C welcome

Looks like it would take a lot of effort and work, but well worth it considering the result
