Thanks!. To me the whole thing just looks like a bunch of parts thrown 
together. I guess that's real craftsmanship for you....

This idea came to me last week sometime, but I didn't start coding until 
I had a good way to model the side of the watch. That particular shape 
wasn't going to be easy. After finding out I could do it with a mesh, 
the whole thing came together after lunch (and through dinner).

You could say I'm a fast worker, or you could look at all the tiny 
details I left in because I was hasty to post this. Either way, I get 
more done because I don't have any real work at the moment :/

Great! That makes it worthwhile :)

Are you the one who spilled beer on his laptop? Bummer! My keyboard's 
gobbled up it's fair share of foods and drinks over the years!
