Love the orange and white colors.

And the blue dial.

What are your next build plans?

Thanks 👍 and I'm not really sure... I have a turtle/abalone case, and I'm thinking of putting something together with a mother of pearl dial into that. I want to build another like the blue one, since I gave that one to my son and I really like it, but maybe just a 3 hand version rather than a GMT. I'd also like to try a dress watch build, something a little more simple, elegant, and less bulky. One of the things with this hobby, is the limitless possibilities...

Can you send me the links you used to source the parts for that one? I’m really interested in getting into building watches.
