    This week Amer finished making the click for his Omega pocketwatch and finished servicing it.

The piece was made of one whole piece of steel and the vertical part that interacts with the crown wheel was bent upwards. The piece is not yet finished.

Here is the piece after finishing and installed in the watch again ready for use.
