12. Go back to the 12 o'clock layer again and duplicate. Rotate to the right by 31 degrees and move into the 1 o'clock position. I resized by 75% to make it a bit smaller than the others. Rename this layer "1 o'clock".
13. On the 1 o'clock layer, duplicate and rotate to the right by 31 degrees. I resized by 75% to make it a little bit smaller than the 4 main ones. Move into the 2 o'clock position and rename the layer "2 o'clock".
14. Go back to the 1 o'clock layer. Duplicate the layer and then Image--->Mirror. Rename the layer "11 o'clock".
15. On the 11 o'clock layer, duplicate the layer, then Image--->Flip and rename "7 o'clock".
16. Duplicate this 7 o'clock layer and Image--->Mirror. Rename layer to "5 o'clock".
17. Go to the 2 o'clock layer and duplicate it. Image--->Mirror and rename to "10 o'clock".
18. Duplicate this layer and Image--->Flip, then rename the layer "8 o'clock".
19. Duplicate this layer and Image--->Mirror, renaming "4 o'clock".
20. If you are satisfied with the placement (if not, then use your mover tool to place them where you want them), turn off all other layers and merge visible the o'clock layers. Turn the other layers back on.
21. If you like, you can add a brand name to the face. Make sure you are on the merged layer and add a new layer. Use the font of your choice. Because this image is based on a real watch by Bulova, I used that brand. I used the Formal font and made the foreground null and background white (this makes the font thinner) then applied the gold_shiny preset.
22. Add a new raster layer and name it "watch centre". With your selection tool set to circle, draw a circle in the middle, starting at 125, 125. I made mine 13 pixels big. Apply the BP or SBP preset you last used (the gold shiny with height changed to 10)
23. Add a new layer and name it "big hand". Open a new image, 50 x 75. With your rounded rectangle selection tool, draw a longish, thin rectangle, whatever size you want for your big hand. Flood fill with white and apply same gold shiny preset with height changed to 10.
24. Edit --->copy. Edit--->paste as new layer on the watch face image. Move it to where you want it to be.
25. Duplicate this layer and rename "little hand". Using the rotate function, place it where you want the little hand. I resized by 75% to make it smaller than the big hand.
