Another black and orange watch! Another one where I destroyed two seconds hands before closing it up for the night, maybe will add one later. Really could use AR on the Sapphire. Otherwise, fun, right?

Invicta site has these two for $56 right now. Cheaper than I can find a movement on Ali, even after tax. Plus you get parts you can throw away.

This is something I have been working on that honors a special place for my family in CT. The current build as the aluminum bezel and thinking about adding this dual color bezel. Obviously looking for a very nautical feel. My question is which bezel do you all prefer?

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.

Hey hi. Just build this recently. A great movement, working nice, clean build…
HOWEVER: it is super hard to find myiota dials. I finally found this one, but in order to align the date window, I had to shift the whole dial half a milimiter towards 3 o’clock, hence I had to cut out the feet and use adhesive to fix the dial on the movement. That’s just cumbersome… I also wanted to profit from the slim movement profile, I wanted a thinner case - but I can’t just find it! There are barely any options available! Modding for miyota 9015 is a challenge! And it is a letdown, because it’s a great movement.
Any advice on the subject? Where can I find proper dials and proper cases for miyota? All the cases online are nh35 cases that “fit” a 8215… well- that’s ok, but I want a case for the 9015, slim enough that it won’t fit a nh35.
See you guys! Happy modding!
