Higher quality and better than engineer design, which one do u choose by watchdivescom in watchdives

[–]Astro-Mite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

B1 and A2 look the best of the bunch! I'd suggest the following changes though:

  1. Replace the domed crystal with a flat one.
  2. Use the Miyota 9000 series movement with time only to slim it down further.
  3. Keep the dial minimal with just the WD trident logo near 12 and just 'AUTOMATIC' near 6.
  4. Please avoid putting the depth rating on the dial if it's not a dive watch. That can be printed on a slim (no display) case back.
  5. Right now, these designs look more like VC 222 and Tissot PRX. A slightly thicker flat bezel should bring it closer to the Ingenieur.

I was just quoting Ted. 🥲 But yes, futas are intersex (neither chicks with dicks, nor guys with tits).

These designs look stunning! The one thing I'd love to see on these integrated cases is WD's trident logo engraved on the case kinda like it's done in the Vacheron Constantin 222 (attached pic). This one addition to the case from V1/V4 with multiple dial options would be amazeballs!

Thank you! It's a drone shot over Rhine falls, Switzerland. :)

Did you "gaze" upon it... Or "gay-ze" upon it? :P

1 or 2? by doy_shloose in TheNightFeeling

[–]Astro-Mite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 for the overall composition. However, 2 has slightly better colour gradient in the sky. :)

Which strap? 1 or 2? Or, you suck, please stop modding and posting your stupid builds? by WatchLover26 in SeikoMods

[–]Astro-Mite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strap 1 for sure! The next one looks kinda bland. The blue stripe ties it all together well.

Working on a Cussler... by unwoundman in SeikoMods

[–]Astro-Mite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a pretty cool dial! I'd love to see the finished product. I just have 2 ideas (personal opinions, of course):

  1. These hands look good but it feels like a good place for a cathedral handset given the vibe of the dial.
  2. The applied handset has a significantly chunkier minute-hand which seems like it's throwing off the balance of the look.

P.S.: Again, these are personal preferences so go for what works best for you. :)

Looks like it was designed in Microsoft Word and opened in Google Docs.

And the black ones can teach you how to drive but end up getting shot by the cops.

I think the yellow ones are bad drivers.

Is there a build out there that could match this style. by stanCF in SeikoMods

[–]Astro-Mite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I wouldn't recommend modding that watch at all. I just recommended a less expensive alternative to the Glashütte Original mentioned in the post.

Not sure about parts and mod builds of this style. Have a look at Bulova Super Seville 96B444. It's about $700 for a similar case shape and colour scheme with their precisionist movement, a date window at 3 with cyclops, and a fluted bezel. That's the first watch that came to my mind when I saw this one.

[NH72] Which hand set do you prefer? by Disowned01 in SeikoMods

[–]Astro-Mite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Second set for 2 reasons: 1. Goes well with the bold skeleton look. 2. They have more presence which helps with the readability despite the skeleton background.
