Done! Bronze Case tool watch
Just got the last parts in to put this together. Bronze Case, grainy Black dial, great lume. Now I just have to wear it and see how it ages over time.

Superb 👏🏻👏🏻😍
Nice! Love that dial. I have a couple dials from them. They look even better in person.

AjuiceT? They are great, I have their brown textured dial waiting on a case too, great stuff
That is absolutely awesome! Well done.

Thank you!
That looks superb.
Better than many many ‘professionally’ designed watches.

That's really kind, thank you! I am pleasantly surprised with the result
That's amazing! You made that?

Sort of.... I assembled it from parts I sourced over the last while. Movement, dial, hands, case/Crystal, etc. I hope to get access to machining tools one day and design my own cases but that's above my hobby-level skills haha
Nice work! The first picture... Is that a CNS sailcloth strap? I installed a green one on one of my Seiko's last week and absolutely love it! Just as comfortable as the much more expensive Hirsch Pure Caoutchouc strap it was on for a good few years.

It looks a lot like it, this one is just a cheap "flourorubber" strap I ordered on Amazon to get this on a strap quick haha. I don't like this one, real stiff, so I moved it to either the CNS cotton NATO, or the Barton straps one in the other photo.
I may try the CNS sailcloth one you mentioned if they are comfortable

Yeah they really are! Like that strap a lot after 3 days of wearing it.

Yeah AjuiceT make some of the coolest dials. I have brown textured one as well.

Absolutely, have you decided what you'll use the brown dial for? I have a case on the way and a hand set waiting patiently in my office for mine haha

Yeah, I put it in this black OEM case. But I may change it again. I’m always tinkering with em.

That looks great, I went with a similar set of hands and a gold case set from weezmods. Hard to stop messing with them

Hahaha. Yeah, it’s tough. Right now is the first time in a while I don’t have any incoming parts. I made it bunch of watches the last couple months and have to slow down a bit now. Think I’m going to try to plan something out really cool instead of just churning em out.

That's a good plan, I go through waves for sure. I am probably calling it after that last set for a while too
Great mod!
Where did you get bronze case from?

Haha. Yeah you gotta wear the one you just built!

It is from a seller on eBay, only place I could find a decently small bronze case. I just search the material and case size, but they had a 39mm option as well
Can’t wait to see some Patina Pics
Fantastic work 👏🏽. Looks good!
Really solid watch with tool vibes. The dial and hands are well balanced and goes well with the bronze case. Nice watch, good work!
If u remember the vendors for the case and dial it would be great especially the sizes. Exactly what I am looking for in my next bronze watch
