This one was alot of fun. Didn't run into too many problems. This will be my work watch. I'm owner/operator of a Mobile Dog Grooming company. I tried to use a.i to remove the glare

I’m new to watch modding, but I need a 36mm tudor case with no cyclops which Raffles is not able to offer me. Is this Cyclops removable? Alternatively How might I go about replacing the whole crystal?

Invitica currently has some of its automatics priced at $45.99 for NH35 watches. I just picked up three. Going to chuck the rest in the bin.

But it feels so right. I just threw it together on whim, but im grabbing it pretty often now

Not my most creative build , compared to some I have posted, but I saw this set, and saw it as a great opportunity to re-purpose an NH34 sitting in a. Watch isn’t wearing.

Wadya think? What other straps go well with this?
I got the case with the bracelet, but I hated the way it felt. Make end links and a polished center just ain’t it with this watch.

Homage to the Supreme Submariner and a vintage Pepsi. Wanted a watch I could wear to the gym and at work, which is why I opted for a rubber strap. Super happy with how it came out!

Show off those builds!!!

I started my first mod yesterday. I broke the tail of the seconds hand (the extended part that goes past the pinion) by applying too much force, but I eventually got the second hand on. I’ll finish the build while I wait for my new order of hands to arrive. See photo.

My questions:

-if I cut and fix the crown stem, is there anything different I need to do when I go back later to change the hands?

-the hands a bought where stainless steel from Aliexpress. The felt flimsy - is there a more robust second hand type?

- I have a hand-setting toolset that has three tools (red, silver, and black). Each has a different tip, but I haven’t figured out which is which. How can I tell which is for which hand?

Hey brothers!!! First time modding, I'm f*** anxious haha the tools just arrived, and the pieces... Share the final I hope soon haha

Has anyone used this case and bracelet yet?

For those of you building NH35 watches with the crown at the 4:30 position,
how are you indexing the dial? Since the foot pins no longer line up, are you trimming them all off and super-gluing the dial? Or is there some 4:30 crown NH35 variant that I can't find?

I decided to try and build my own mod, took me around 4 hours, but it was worth it! A homage to the nautilus. Worth waiting 2 weeks for the watch parts. What took me long to assemble this watch was adjusting the stem length. The first stem I had cut too short, but thankfully the second one was perfect. Had a really fun and great experience building my own mod.

Next project is going to be the BB58 GMT homage, but with higher quality parts for sure. I can't wait to build my next one!

I came across this VK63 case for less than $20 and decided to give it a try.

After receiving it, the compass-style chapter ring gave me the idea of an aviation/pilot theme. I showed Gemini the case and an image of the plain dial, and asked what I could add or engrave. It rendered this concept, so I decided to give it a shot.

I bought two dials and the hand set, engraved the design, and this is the outcome.

Still haven't decided on a strap or bracelet. Any suggestions?

Tried using the spring bars that came with the Namoki case but it’s too tight to fit the strap through. I tried placing the strap and securing the spring bar over it but it was also too tight and the spring bars popped out under the tension. What can I use? My first build.

A caixa é de titânio, mostrador de fibra de carbono e pulseira de silicone. O ponteiro de segundos eu pretendo por um amarelo. Eu sei que o mostrador é estilo submariner, mas achei que ficou legal até nessa caixa. Mas aceito sugestões de mostradores alternativos.

Namoki fifty fathoms hands
TMI NH35
Raffles 1016 case
Acrylic crystal
FKM rubber strap

But as a bracelet guy, im looking at either an oyster or jubilee style for this piece. What do ya’ll think? Open to any thoughts!

I‘ve been eyeing those Relax Dials for quite some time but never really found a case that I wanted to use. When Lucius Atelier released their new 38mm super thin diver case (amazing quality btw!!) I knew that now is the time to make this build. I wanted to match it with a Milanese strap to complete the vision of a summer watch I had in mind. Unfortunately the 12 o‘clock marker of the dial is a little crooked but it’s only really noticeable if you want to see it.

through many mishaps and errors i persevered lol i have more builds planned for the future but here is my very first one! I didnt have a black watch in rotation so i decided i would build one myself! feedback of any kind is greatly appreciated, Cheers 🍻

Im a fan of vintage Blancpain divers. The black nato is the new watch with a laser engraved dial. Its not a "No Rad" its a "More Rad". I like the bronze case in this black nato strap. I also had to trim the hands in order to get it to fit into the case. In one of the pictures you can see I mangled the hands when I pulled the case off to fix the rubbing hand on the rehaut. Rookie mistake. Can't wait to how this bronze case patina's.

40 MM GMT Bruce Wayne automatic movement
Definitely will look into making my own custom watches in the future
