🕒 Crafted with Care: A Personal Horological Journey 🕒
In the quiet moments between life's busy hours, I've poured my heart into creating something special. Today, I'm excited to share a piece that's close to my heart. 🔍 **Simplicity in Steel** 🔍 Fashioned for an understated "all steel" look, this watch reflects a minimalist aesthetic that speaks volumes through its simplicity, yet boldness with its Yacht-Master Style Bezel. 🎨 **A Touch of Personalization** 🎨 The dial features a logo of my own design, a small but proud mark of my independent craft. 🔗 **Comfort Meets Style** 🔗 Fitted with an adjustable jubilee style bracelet, it's designed for everyday comfort without compromising on style. ⚙️ **Trusted Movement** ⚙️ Ticking inside is the NH-35A movement, a choice that promises reliability for those who appreciate the quiet precision of a well-made automatic watch while staying affordable. This creation isn't just about telling time; it's about celebrating the time invested in its making. Thank you for sharing in this moment with me. Another post is coming soon on the second time piece I made today. Cheers to the simple joys of watchmaking! 🥂 #HandmadeWatch #NH35A #Watchmaking #diywatch

Yea, I love the look of the planet ocean dials, but didn't want to homage, so I changed things up a bit.

Gorgeous steel watch you’ve created 👏😎
Would you consider making another for a fellow member
Who was your supplier for the applied logo? I'm thinking about doing the same thing with my build once I start buying parts.

To a certain extent yes, I've sold one of my custom watches before, but I'm not a serious watch maker. I'm a hobbyists making things I think look great and expressing myself in my timepieces.

DM me too please. Thanks
This is a pretty special piece! How did you learn to put this together? Did you start with a kit or everything sourced separately?
Stunning!!!!
I would like to inquire about getting one as well.
Nice! I'm looking to create my own logo for my creations. Where did get them done??
I've been wanting to do this. Yours turned out great.
Congrats, sick watch! I would be interested in assembling a watch from spare parts as well! What tools were needed for this project?

I watched a lot of watch maker videos and also DIY repair videos. Everything is sourced individually from either eBay or aliexpress or watch parts sellers online. It is sometimes a grind since you buys hands that are supposed to fit an NH-35A, but then realize they sent you the wrong ones or that the bracelet you ordered doesn't fit exactly my a hair.... Very frustrating sometimes! 😅
Congrats, sick watch! I would be interested in assembling a watch from spare parts as well! What tools were needed for this project?
I use a giant led lamp with magnifying glass, a watch Repair Tools set, a movement holder, press pins, caseback openers, and miniature screwdrivers. I also have a pad to hold the watch and the movement when the aren't in their holders. I don't use the eye glass magnifying lens since I wear glasses and have estigmatism and can't see without them.

The logo? My wife is a designer and I dable with graphic design as well. I had some ideas generated by an ai tool and took those and came up with the current logo I use. My wife thought it was to surfer like, but I reminded her that I'm an Islander so it make sense.

DM?
Very nice looking watch. I have build two customs watches myself and would also be interested about where did you get that logo? If you could dm me about it too?
