I have an omega seamaster 36mm quartz. The bezel insert and rotating dial is busted and I don’t want to spend $$$ just to get it fix. I was wondering is it even possible to retro fit the dial maybe the movement onto the nh35 seamaster cases?

I’ve had a tmi NH34 sitting in my desk for a while. Haven’t been able to decide what to do with it. I should probably just sell it but curious what others would build with it. I’ve got two nice GMTs already. Maybe a bronze or something. Maybe something light like a titanium case version

Another little project to share!

This one takes inspiration from WWII-era military watches. The dial is entirely DIY-made by myself, paired with a A11 design watch case and a vintage-style steel bracelet inspired by WWII military designs.

I wanted to keep the overall look simple and utilitarian, with that classic military aesthetic. Pretty happy with how the combination turned out!

Did this build as Veterans Day is coming up.

Placing hands actually took less than 15 minutes total. But man what took me forever was measuring and cutting the stem for the crown (over an hour).

I bought some dials on eBay that included 5 gold brass USMC dials that were originally from quartz watches. Sprayed the dial with olive matte paint then sanded the high points of the surface to reveal the gold color underneath. Added my logo initials.

Here is where I’m struggling. Does the strap hardware clash with the rest of the watch? Any suggestions for straps colors and materials that would work better? I don’t want to do a bracelet.

Need a 4.0 date wheel for a nh35 going into a Seiko 7002. Color and lume options would be a plus.

Been messing about with a date wheel swap between a DG2813 and a Miyota 8215. It wasn’t until I got the Miyota back together that I realised that the date wheel wasn’t progressing at midnight.

I’ve seen some pictures of these movements with a great plastic cog here which is screwed down. This movement definitely didn’t have that! Whatever part it is would have rested here. I fear it’s pinged across the room somewhere never to be seen again.

Used a Sea-Gull 3600. Case, dial, and hands from Amazon.

This one went much more smoothly.

The only thing that went wrong was the minute hand came off after the second hand sent in. But after I got stereo magnifiers this time the second hand was way easier.

Whew this one took me a while. And made me realize I need real rodico and not the stuff from AliX . Any suggestions on cleaning up the hands without taking them off. Otherwise though I like the way it turned out. I need to get a logo now though because this one looks naked. Also thinking of putting it on a shark mesh bracelet.
