Latest discount, bargain basement, clearance bin build.
Walmart George case, Ali Seiko nh34 dial, Perrin cathedral hands with a Swiss Ronda 505-24 GMT movement. $60.00 CDN to build it. not pretty but functional enough for me. Quartz is so much harder to do than the usual NH35 stuff.

Hey I think it looks great! A nice vintage vibe - and not only did you do it, you pulled it off for nothing. Well done.
Ohhh how harder? I was planning on a mecha quartz build , are the parts harder to fit together?

Those are easy. Same hands as a nh35 but for the little ones. Cases on ali at under 30 bucks. I get movements from Perrin now instead of ali. I don't trust Aliexpress movements anymore but everything else is fine. You should be under 80 bucks with a build there.
