Used a caseback wrench, hand removing tools, plastic to remove the hands without scratching the dial, rodigo to clean away dust and specs hand setting tools. I have a movement holder (optional) and case cushion (optional).
I have purchased a few pieces from AE, though purchase cases, dials and hands frequently to build/modify with.
For full pieces, I have purchased four of them. Three Pagani design. Two of these I bought because they were in $55 range with a seiko nh35. Given the fact that I usually pay $27 for a NH35 and in this case I get a case, bracelet and hands from which I will mod with a new dial...I am pretty good. The other was one with the right case size for me to mod into an Uncle Seiko SARB 37dial. This worked out well. Lastly the other is an OBLVO...which was a splurge on a rather fun piece.
One last thing..AE is providing a chrono homage to Studio UnderD0g. It is very interesting to see these two duke-ing it out, because the AE version is using the same movement (Chinese) as the studio underd0g.
Amazing price for an automatic with dial like that on Aliexpress. Not sure of the quality...
