WatchCrunch watch custom diver build revealed!

Happy Sunday crunchers! โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜‰ Here is the update on my custom WatchCrunch inspired Diver. So I received all the parts I needed to complete the mod on Friday the day before the WC meet up in NY.

I wanted to take the time to thank all of you for your input on how I should put it together. Ultimately I made final decisions (some of which last minute) and wanted to make it as much of a homage to the Jack Mason collab watch and still have my own DNA in there. But I did still get an understanding of what you guys would like to see.

There is still work to be done which includes a crown change, rotor replacement for green color and lining up the markers to as close to perfect as I can and Iโ€™m sure I will find more things to tweak along the way but Iโ€™m very happy with it for now! Here are some more photos. Let me know what you guys think of it. And have a lovely rest of your weekend.

Yea that was my first mod I completed a month ago. Learned a lot from it and I think I have improved from that one to this one. https://www.watchcrunch.com/Mr.Santana/posts/my-watchcrunch-inspired-mod-192948

The dial is a little cleaner on the diver with less text. And the WC handle is a great personal touch. My person favorite is the original but I'd pay for either. Just throwing that out there ๐Ÿ˜

This is amazing. I really like the green and black. The nato flows so well โ€” love the stripe color. The WC logos look perfect. The green logo stands out so beautifully.

Great work ๐Ÿ‘!

Do you make a tiny stencil and paint it yourself?

Iโ€™ve done a bit of painting on my mod watches but it never looks so clean ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Nah I have someone print it for me. And ship me the dial so I can inspect and assemble

Now, that design has GMT written all over it. NH34 anyone?

Those parts have taken a lot of time to hunt down and the result is magnificent. Why not start selling kits to members?
