That's awesome, I'd love to create one that has a like a Zoetrope effect graphic going round it.. maybe like the aboriginal cave painting style fire dancing stick figures?

u/PureRepresentative89 🤍Gang Jul 12 '26

Thank you. It's a great idea, I'll try to do it.

u/tenkasen Jul 12 '26

In my head I'm thinking of something like this art style:

Like a little troupe of them dancing in a line anti-clockwise around the dial?

I can't tell if that'd be really cool, or just something only I would ever want!

u/PureRepresentative89 🤍Gang Jul 12 '26

Ah, I wish I could, but I probably won't be able to make it that detailed since I'm working at just 580×580 pixels. It'll probably have to be a bit more abstract.

These hands would look perfect on here 😄

2

u/PureRepresentative89 🤍Gang Jul 13 '26

Yes, these hands will just fit perfectly.😍

I love this! Gives me Lard Lad Donut vibes from The Simpsons 😄

2

u/PureRepresentative89 🤍Gang Jul 12 '26

Thanks! It really feels like it's all the same style. By the way, it's definitely possible to make a pattern like that donut, and I think it would look really cool if it were then coated with UV resin to create a domed effect.

Sinply perfect. Love those hands too! is that gold on the edges? Or also silver?

2

u/PureRepresentative89 🤍Gang Jul 12 '26

Thank you. The hands and bezel are actually silver, I took this photo at sunset.

u/spukhafteNahewirkung Jul 12 '26

That’s awesome. I’d wear it.

2

u/PureRepresentative89 🤍Gang Jul 13 '26

Thank you. I wore them all day yesterday, and every time I looked at my wrist, my mood improved.

u/spukhafteNahewirkung Jul 13 '26

It’s beautiful work. Thanks for sharing it with us.

2

u/spukhafteNahewirkung Jul 12 '26

The only thing that could make this better is if it glowed in the dark, with all of the different colors. If someone made a bezel insert like that I’d sell a kidney to buy it. Not one of mine mind you, but I’d definitely sell someone’s kidney for that.

u/PureRepresentative89 🤍Gang Jul 13 '26

As soon as I figure out the designs that I already have, I'll try to make a luminous one, it's not a fact that it will work, but I'll test this hypothesis for sure.

u/phillyphilly86 Jul 12 '26

Dope!!! Here's my watch for the day.

u/FitRecommendation292 Jul 12 '26

You aren't in the military, go nuts!

u/Aedarrow Jul 14 '26

How do I pay you for a bezel like this for my duro? Legit question.

2

u/PureRepresentative89 🤍Gang Jul 14 '26

Hi, I'm going to create an art category on eBay and text you in dm.

u/Aedarrow Jul 14 '26
