NWA Alert (sort of).
My second attempt at a watch Mod (fist had a few set-backs). It didn’t go exactly as planned. I wanted to swap dials, but found the one I had was too small. So I put the original back on. I then tried swapping hands and broke those. Found a pair of hands I bought for something else and figured I might as well get some practice putting hands on. Then, even though they weren’t what I was thinking, I kinda liked the look. So I thought screw it I’ll keep it this way wear it. Also swapped the strap.
Even though I messed a lot up, it was a lot of fun working on it. And there is a lot of satisfaction wearing something you put together yourself.

Away to attempt my first watch build in the next month or 2 & have some high aspirations, hope my none existing watch building skills will hold up to the challenge 😁 done alot of mods on my existing collection & I'm an Artist so hoping the knowledge from them will see me through to the finished product 🤞🤞🤞

My building skills are not so great so I’m sure you’ll do awesome. The only advice I can give, is everything looks way smaller then the YouTube videos I watched. I took me a bit to adjust to that.
I hope you have fun when you do yours. I know it has started a whole different interest in watches for me.

Sometimes I cant find exactly what I want so thought fuck it I will build it... 1 off 1 sounds good to me 😁
I'm always modding my Watches so if I build it from scratch I won't need to Mod it. I'm sure there is some kind of logic in that statement 🤣🤣🤣
Good job gone through the mod “pain & suffering” myself. First was swapping the NH35 from a dead Pagani Design then put on snowflake hands scratched the dial and had to re-glue the bezel insert, now working a treat, always smile when I’m wearing it😂

I see the logic hahaha.

Hahaha. I scratched a dial, ruined a stem, and ordered the wrong bezel insert on the first one I tried. I learned a lot though. And I still have something special in mind for all those parts.
