Birthday build about to start!
Today is my birthday, and so even though I've had these parts for 3+ weeks, I wasn't able to do anything with them. But now, I am free to build! Don't have time today though, probably going to have to wait until Wednesday to start. Oh well. Anyways, here's the case I got, 44mm bronze Tandorio case, and boy, it's a beefy case, about 85g empty! Can't wait to do the build, gonna be way more than I've ever done before!

Used to collect cheap and weird digital watches when I was young. Now I've moved on to mechanical watches. I also like modding them, especially the cheap ones!

I'm sure I will! At least I hope so, I've never done a chapter ring and crystal replacement, should be interesting!
Congratulations on another successful lap around the sun 🍻
I'm excited to see what you've chosen! Are those cases specific to a particular movement or can you adapt to one of several choices with adapter rings?

The one I got is for the NH34, but I think they have options for another movement too.

I made a copper turtle once and I'm sure yours will turn out great. 😎👍

Happy birthday and happy build!!
Building a watch is in my 2024 goals list for sure :-)
Mind if I ask where you source parts? Ali?

Thanks! And so far, for the two builds I've planned (one done, and this one), yeah, parts are all from AliExpress. The shipping time sucks, but it is what it is.

Thanks! I'm just at the dipping my toes in stage...

It can be a little frustrating, but it's really fun and satisfying. After doing my first build, I was looking for parts for the next build before the end of the day, lol!
