Project Build a Camel - Nearly time to build.
So, after many weeks of polls the choices are made and ordered.
The movement will be an undramatic but reliable Seiko NH35 and the Crystal will be a double domed sapphire with Clear AR.
The Case:-
The Bezel:
The Dial:
The hands:
The Crown:
The Rotor (dress up that NH35 a bit):
The Caseback (Sapphire):
I have some of the parts and the movement, the remaining parts arrive on Thursday. I will build it on the weekend.
The Builder:
Once it's done... it's up for auction here for one of you lucky lot to own.
Watch this space...

Hopefully it won't look like a bag of spanners.

I'm sure it won't, mind you you're brave putting it to a public vote,maybe a bit of boaty mcboat face. It will be unique, bespoke and I'm sure we'll love it.

Well... hopefully we can auction it off and make £1.99 for charity. 😉
I'll cover the cost of the build so whatever it sells for will go to a good cause.
That selection of components is going to make a good looking watch. At least it will if you put them in all of the appropriate places.
