Hello! I'm a watch/machine nerd living in the Seattle area. I've had a career as a bike mechanic but now I work at a desk and talk on the phone all day. In my spare time I tinker with bikes and watches when I'm not trying to travel, ride bikes, or go on hikes. I have been collecting for several years and I am particularly fond of Seiko - typical, I know. Looking forward to chatting!

It really is sensitive. I think it scratched in places just from picking up brass shavings with rodico. I really like the look, though and their logo is one of my favorites for an aftermarket dial. They really did a good job playing on the old military tritium symbols
Thanks for the idea! I think that would look cool, too. I haven't tried modifying the text on a finished dial - any tips?
Haha, verrrry busy! It's and O.U.T.C.A.S.T bezel insert. I thought the idea was interesting so I literally tried to build a watch around the bezel. Time will tell if I find it truly useful....
