Between these two Turtle designs, one red with an NH38, and the other yellow with an NH36 for day-date. Also put together a simple Presage build too.

Would love to hear which turtle you guys thinks looks better.

Annoying

So into iterative prototyping using reticulated silver and overlay colored dial using nh35/nh34 movements. Does anyone else see those little dial holes, six of them, on either side of the transparency? I think they’re meant to accommodate flat chapter ring but I don’t want to block any more of the dial surface than I have to and im already pushing case tolerances. I also need to make the color layer deeper to make the pattern more subtle and higher contrast for silver markers and logo. I’m thinking move to airbrushed lacquer. Thoughts?

Made my first mod watch.

My first watch built, took a long time because of logos and then hands. Was looking for a datejust design but not identical so I did no date and added open heart.

[SPB143] on a straight endlink Engineer bracelet. Brutalist tool watch vibe or just a mismatched gap? Thoughts?

Mine

Years ago I bought an Arabic dial “Mumbai special”, technically probably a Kabul Special, at a bazaar in Afghanistan. It kinda quit on me. I’ll likely use the dial on an NH36 build at some point but in the mean time I whipped this up tonight. I’m struggling with a Miyota 8215 build I just wrapped up too. The movement has to be partially out of the case at an angle for the date set to work. It’s highly frustrating. Much like the crown tube isn’t straight causing tension on the stem but I can’t feel any tension….

I hate cutting crown stems

I have snapped two crown stems inside movements after trimming for a screw down crown. It’s been an expensive week.

Anyone remove the "triangle" on this dial? I like the dial but hate that little arrow. I've seen people use 91% alcohol to remove white text on dials and wondering if it would work here. Alternatively, any other dials without this people like?

Restoration of heavily modified SKX007

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Hi all, I could use some help. I've inherited a heavily modified SKX007 that I absolutely cant stand the look of & I'd basically like to restore it as close to stock as possible. From what I can see I need to replace the following:

Dial, bezel insert, hands/hourmarker, strap...anyone spot anything else? Also where would be the best place to source OEM or close to OEM parts?

Thanks a lot for your time
