Where can I order/get a [custom] part made?
TL;DR: Want to make an updated-for-2024 Timex 1972 World Time Reissue bezel, where to make or get something like this? Same with engraving a caseback (to list extra cities)
So sometime "recently" (I'm using the word loosely; within the last year), Timex rereleased their 1972 World Time reissue!
And while minor changes were made (electric --> quartz, date window offset stupidly), it's remarkably true to that same watch almost 50 years ago!
And boy do I like it! Something about the dial layout or case shape or pops of colour just work well! It even has where I was born on the bezel - Calcutta!
But speaking of said bezel, it uses (and sometimes incorrectly even then), timezones that have long since changed. I'd like to make an updated version with my own cities. And possibly list extra on the back, but I don't know where I'd make such a part
High school student atm - Anything over $100 is a lot - Dials > Movements (after all the dial is what u see) - Would like to learn how to make watch straps & dials on my own Open to talk about most th...
Timex made a reissue of a watch from their past. That's the appeal of these reissues. An amateur attempt at updating would be nuts. The entire intent of the watch would be ruined and the liklehood of "making" a useable (to your liking) bezel is doubtful, at best.

I get that, but if everything else is the same, but the bezel is functional, you still get the vintage vibe
That looks sickkk

I wish I owned one ☹ (I don't but this was the first good photo I could find of one)
A 3D printer from hell maybe.
