It's getting close to finished! Are there any details you can see that need adjusting, before I start the final showcase work?

So, I never realised that there are 2 props used for the Chronometer. One was sold at auction in 2004 and it's visibly different to the one still in storage today. I also never noticed that the number dials are not solid, the sides are open and hollow and, depending on which of the 2 props you see, may also have holes in it creating more of a spoked design. One also has large thick silver gears with flat rubber bands on either side of each dial, whereas the other has smaller, very thin gears with a thin rubber band around it. Here are some photos of each:
Large silver gears, holes in the sides:
Small silver gears, no holes in the sides:
And given that one becomes the other before and after the first time travel scene, that matches up to the point where a few other parts of the machine change, including the central black sphere getting a square cutout and seam along the top, the stairs getting their wooden panels on each step, and the level changing to the wider design.
