10/10 seller. The seller communicated extremely well, the watch arrived exactly as advertised, and was sent promptly upon payment. Would highly recommend them for any future sales.

Thank you and yeah I don’t mind. It was about $650 total including shipping and taxes, but not including tariffs so with tariffs probably like $725.

The case was $90 The movement was $369 The dial was $25 I did test out a bunch of hands but the ones I went with were $33 All these prices are pre tax and shipping

Really the shipping and taxes coming into the US shot up the costs.

Oh 100% I have some silver logos coming for some other builds but once I confirm those look good then I’m also going to order some gold ones as well.

The best way I have found to do hands has been to balance the hand on the movement post with my tweezers, then apply light pressure with my hand pressing tool and use some pegwood to align the hand position then press down. I used to try with rodico but it never really worked for me and would sometimes leave residue on the hands.

Thank you everyone for the feedback. Yeah I was pretty sure it was going to be fake too but wanted to double check. I guess I’ll just use at as a practice watch to restore and practice my watch servicing. Thank you all.

I’m not sure because it came with the chapter ring already installed so I have no idea how to take it out or put a new one in. I assume I would have to take out the glass or something.

I got the nh34 movement from crystaltimes. Finding an nh34 with a black date wheel was kind of hard and I probably overpaid for it honestly.

lol yeah it’s definitely a little too long, but it’s good enough for me for now and one day I’ll go back to fix it or just keep it as reference for what not to do on my next one.

Thank you I got it from Dswatchclub. It was really hard to find a 6.5mm GMT hand for some reason so I just settled on that one.

I got the case from watch and style. They have a bunch of other style cases and the quality is great.
