I built a perfect watch (for myself)
This is my second ever build.
I got the hands and dial from Dagaz, Seiko Nh35 inside, case from AliExpress and currently it has two bracelets assigned to it, one rubber from from Helm and a jubilee bracelet from San Martin. I switch between them as I see fit.
I built this watch to be a perfect "me" watch. It's exactly what I wanted and I am really happy how it turned out.

I have always had interest in everything mechanical and since 2019 that has transferred to watches. Since then I have started collecting and tinkering with them. So yeah, I am a watch collector now :)

Looks Dope! Kudos for taking matter in your own hands and making your perfect watch!
Nice Build!! 🍻🥳
Very cool
Kudos 👍
It looks great! Well done 👏
Great build, I love the black-red-white scheme it works so well and the watch will sit perfectly on that black/red strap in the last pic! 👍🏻
Congrats and very well done sir 👏🏻👏🏻
Great looking watch!
Sexy looking watch 😍😍
Bravo!
Wait.. what? Is this a thing? Do you have experience of this previously (apart from your first build?) Is this something realistic anyone could do and succeed with?
May I ask what this cost you all in if you don't mind sharing?
Thank you!

Sure, lots of people are doing currently. I have been tinkering with watches for a few years now but this is more like a LEGO actually, since you are just putting prepade parts together.
You could definitely do it as well. This watch came to about 160€ or so. You can do it for even cheaper.
Glad to help 🍻
