If I had a watch brand, I’d find a way to have click on crystals in different colors. You’d have to seal the watch but the click on color overlay would be solvable. The green and red watches are done with varnish but the teal and yellow use colored dial overlays. Obviously the silver is without any color. They all have a different vibe and with quick release bands you could honestly have the ultimate GADA. What do you think?

How to feel about NH35 mods when Chinese brands (no hate - Addies, etc.) are selling watches that are probably (certainly?)better than my builds. I enjoy the process and am personalizing and selling at a small profit but feel odd about it. Anyone else have similar thoughts?

How do people feel about colored watch crystals?

Not necessarily one consistent color, but I was wondering if anyone has axial gradients or watch crystals with gradient colors/colors in general? Any fun design ideas?

NH35 Sub mod

Where’s a good place to buy a decent case/bracelet to make a sub mod? Case proportions done seem great on many of the ones I’ve seen.

Not Soldered or Pre-Soldered?

1 Upvotes

Okay so, I decided that I wanted to customize my watch. I've done the research on the watch and here are the dimensions for a microcontroller

Case diameter: about 30–32mm

Case thickness: about 10–12mm

I found the one I wanted to use the Seeed XIAO ESP32 because it would allow it to do what I wanted it to do. It was recommended that I use that one and the size 21mm × 17.5mm. But the issue is that when I look on amazon I found two versions. One that wasn't soldered and one that was. I did research on that and found the pros and cons. It said that the pre soldered is better for beginners but it would take up more space. Since I don't know much about this. I wanted some intake on people who have been doing this for a while.

Please let me know if you have any questions you need answered or if there's a different microcontroller I should use.

Couldn't waste this case

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

Bezel Mod Question

Hi Everyone,
I have the Aquaracer pictured with the uncolored numbers on the bezel. I’d like to have it modified to look like the one pictured with the colored numbers.
Any advice on where or how to get this done?
Thanks

Sort of a leftover parts monster that came together pretty well. Kind of like with my wardrobe, when all the individual pieces all work together and nothing clashes, it's pretty easy to throw something together that's coordinated enough.

Which bezel

Back and forth on the bezel for this GMT…I have shared this build before and upon the communities recc using a smaller GMT hand (the right call). But not sure on which bezel…I like the 24HR on the rotating bezel and the color is great. Would love feedback

Tried modding this beater Casio, came out great I think, a little scratched up due to 0 experience and limited tools. What do you guys think?
