To Build or To Mod?!! That is the Question!
So thanks to Per, @YourIntruder , that triggered this thought in my tiny brain, I have been procrastinating this build and since I have started modding again got me thinking… hmm 🤔🧐…
Should I Build my Own Sarb 037?! Get parts and build it and make it my own or buy a used Sarb 033 or 035 and replace the dial?! Thanks to Uncle Seiko this is attainable!! Hmmm 🤔…
What would a cruncher do?!

Your welcome! I look forward to your final decision and the result. Keep us posted👍And remember that the dial is supposed to go with a SARB035. With the 33 you have to find a white date wheel.
Build of cos . Can you do a group chat or a channel so we can follow and be a part of a process ?)
If it will make you happy and have something to look forward to do it!

Yeah read some especially form Japan some are not even original cases as well…
Ok guys! Decided to do a full Build since I’m gonna open up a used watch and other crap might get in the way like broken movement or seized or whatever .. decide to ge t new parts everything but the Build will be inspired by the Sarb037!! Wish me luck and may the Modders of WatchCrunch keep an eye on me and lead me to the right path 😜…
the parts are on its way!! Wooohoo!!
Orders extra hands, one lumed … I like lume but ordered not lumed as well just in case..
🤞

Haha! It will be awhile but thank you for the boost of confidence!! 🍻
I’m really excited about this build now, my first was such a headache and the second was kinda difficult but turned out I just lacked practice and to the point I was even confident to paint a rotor!! So let’s see how this goes!! Woohoo!!
I might even paint the rotor again hmmm …

The watermelon rotor can be your signature design! 🍉 Enjoy the process! Its always nice to look at the finished product it’ll be worth the hard work. Are you going to regulate the movement yourself too?

Got the regulated movement already … I’m lazy lol
If you can find a Sarb clone case, please let me know. I’m trying to find one.

That looks good! I’ve been interested in a similar build. Do you know if that case will take Sarb bracelets?

Not sure, if the end links will match depends how it curves I guess…got the bracelet that matched the case but worse scenario…return the bracelet and slap on a nice leather strap! 🥳
I think this one you need to completely decide things your self.
I can’t wait to see the final product if you decide to build it.
This cruncher could barely build a sandwich, let alone a watch. Your skills are enviable! Good luck and looking forward to a photo! 🤙❤️
