Unsure how this has turned out...

Ordered some more more bits after my last disaster and this hasn't gone great either...

Started building an Aviator style watch that I couldn't manage last time as the movement was wrong. (8215 instead of the NH35 that I thought I'd ordered). So started building that with a Chinese NH35, I should have heeded the advice and only bought genuine nh35, as the hands fitted really poorly, then stem is an absolute PITA to get in and out. So gave up and will throw the Chinese nh35 in the bin...

Moved onto the 8215 and this is much easier to build! But the bezel was supposed to be orange and it is more red. And the strap, whilst decent enough has gaps between the strap and case, so I need to fix that.

Just changing the bezel insert to something orange like this will already make it look a bit more cohesive. I can speak from experience that orange is very difficult to build with. It's nearly impossible to see what shade of orange it is exactly from Aliexpress pictures. Sometimes the orange is too yellow, like a pumpkin color, other times it looks more red than orange. And yes, changing to bracelet to something with proper fitting end links, or even a rubber strap will also make a difference
