This "walnut wood" and
Made of "teak wood".
We received a comparison of watch cases.

That's where it is!
That is the most difficult part of the process.
It is an important point that requires skill.
Customers who know what they're looking at."
In other words, you're looking at the 'good stuff' a lot.
