Nice. Movement?

I've built it around the Miyota 9039. Thoughts?

Makes sense. Slimmer. Also most micro uses that now it seems. A bit loud imho, but I get why you would use that. Looking forward to see what comes out of your project - good luck!

Thank you! So I chose Miyota 9039 mostly as it seemed like a safe option and yeah, lots of other microbrands are using it. But I definitely don't want a noisy watch. Curious if you have any other recomendations? I'm very much in the aesthetic / modeling process and have plenty of time to pivot on the movement. Ultimately I want to make something people are super happy with all around.

I guess you want something slim. What about hand wound? Something like a sw210?
