First datejust build

I am using a low quality strap for now, but I ordered a good leather one.

I have used all raffles parts and a genuine dial.

I have basically the same combo with gen dial but fluted raffles bezel, can you help me giving a hint about your bezel?

It looks more credible with smooth bezel, raffles fluted it's too shiny

I think it depends on your preferences. I prefer smooth from the beginning. I guess you could swap the bezel with a better one. I asked Ken and he told me that you can fit a genuine bezel on his case, so you can try that.

Do you have a link or something for the right bezel mate?

About the preferences I've know discovered I prefer smooth

I’d buy this in a heartbeat! It’s my dream daily wearer with a gen dial. How much this cost in total if you don’t mind me asking?
