My new fifty fathoms build
A couple months ago I pre-ordered a new case and a couple dials from CincoMentes. I'mreally pleased with how it turned out. I do like the bond nato look but that particular 2 piece has some rough spots so I have some nicer ones coming including a vintage bond style I think will look cool on it.
Case/dial- fathoms from CincoMentes
Bezel - mm300 from namoki
Insert- fifty fathoms from namoki
Crystal - tophat from crystaltimes
Hands - mil spec from dlw
Movement- nh35
As a bonus I quickly tried the dial and hands in both my 62mas and nautilus.

I did try out anther insert before deciding on the black.
nice built, did you buy the movement separately? how much does it cost in total to built a watch like this?

For this exact build
Case: $62 (pre-order was cheaper)
Dial: $38 (pre-order was cheaper)
Caseback: $16
Bezel: $35
Insert: $34
Crystal: $42
Hands: $22.50
Movement: $35
You can definitely cut down on the costs with some changes to the parts.
She's a stunner 😍 good work sir!!!
VERRRY NICE.
Whoa. Beautiful work, man. Loving it!
Not bad :)
Nice build! I've done a few myself. I like the FF design a lot, almost turned my Mako II into that as well.

I did a simple bezel and insert swap on the mako 2 I had.
