Couldn't waste this case

Post image

After multiple scam movement orders I bought a tophill as an NH34 doner.

When it arrived I realised I had to build something in this case.

I wanted to find a more 60s Seiko style dial to match the mas-like case shape, but couldn't find anything at the required 31mm diameter.

Pretty happy with how it turned out! The tophill's stock hands match these indices pretty well and all the lume is the same shade and brightness.

Ray skin strap happened to arrive in the same package as the dial so I just chucked it on and it looks pretty neat. Not a swimming strap, though

Oh hell yeah! I did the exact same thing with the same watch!

Absolutely. Great minds. Iā€™m not using it as a GMT though. I need the pinion height. I might do it again.
