My first custom built watch! :3 Definitely some things to improve, like the bezel insert alignment with the dial hour markers (I’ll use double sided tape to fix it to the case, it’s freely rotating all the time), or the flat crystal with a domed one, but I’m pretty content with the end result. Don’t know how long I’ll keep it like this though… I’m already ordering spare parts to tweak a thing or two, seems like I’m not gonna be a one-time modded! 🫣

Looks great. I recently built my first custom watch too. All from AliExpress parts.
Wow that looks awesome!! The explorer 2 homage is one of the next builds I have in mind, so in no time mine own will be around too!! 🤩
Nice work Olamen 👏🏽. Looks great 🔥!

Thank you very much!! I’ve made some changes to the watch though: I’ve tried to fix the chapter ring alignment with the dial markers, changed the hand set with one that I can actually see from almost any angle and at first sight, and I’ve also changed the strap (this change has been crucial because it’s made wearing the watch much more comfortable!).
