I previously built a Rotate Watches kit but wanted to build something where I wasn't constrained by kits. It would let me chase the look I wanted and ensure that I had figured out how sizing and part compatibility works.
Seagull St3600 movement (about to be replaced with a genuine ETA 6497), sapphire crystals front and back.
I'm currently designing my own case and dial in CAD and am planning on trying to mill my own parts as my next step.
Let me know what you think!
I'm surprised you're not tempted to have a logo or maker name on the face, like a potatoe, written in potato resolution.
Yea, that comes next ;)
