First custom built watch
Just built this absolutely cute looking watch that looks very much like the Hamilton khaki and the Timex's version of them but for less than hundred dollars.
Specs:
Titanium 36mm case with screw down crown
Nh38 movement, has hacking and hand winding
Sapphire Crystal with blue AR coating.
All the parts costed a bit above 70 dollars on Ali Express and the tools cost about 30 dollars. For less than 100 dollars in total, I'm very happy with how it turned out!
Feel free to ask any questions if y'all are thinking about building your first watch!

Just started collecting watches with some spare money I got as a college student. Been trying to get watches in different categories that also seem interesting to me.

I love how playful it is! Compared to the rest of my collection
No branding on the dial? Looks very unique.

Yup! There are a lot of those on AliExpress and the stores usually charges like 10-20 bucks if you want one with a custom logo
Nice one that is a great looking watch 👍
