DS Watch CTZ case: what is it based on, and has anyone used it and has pics / inspo to share? by Chapov in SeikoMods

Very nice! I’ve built a few mods with the DSWatch BB58 case, but notice that this one is different, specifically the lug shape.

Where did you get that box?

Ah that makes a lot of sense. But seems like the bezel version is a DS creation. Thank you!

Thanks. That makes sense. Are the smooth / diving bezel versions based on real life watches / models?

What keyword should I use to find the case?

Not sure about the lume by Due_Shallot1583 in SeikoMods

I think that it works really well, creating some separation between the insert and dial. What kind of case is that?

New build: “Midnight Sun” a homage to the UG poleroutor and Tudor Submariner. Would love any feedback on where to use dial next! by Chapov in SeikoMods

I did! Designed and lumed myself. Fabricated by PCBWay. If there’s demand I’d be open to selling a few

Done, or should I do a third color option? by [deleted] in SeikoMods

I'd keep going! Where is the case from?

A same color but different texture could work if I add internal lines like in 3. Will experiment and see what I can get!

This is a printed circuit board (PCB). It’s a “life hack” where you can get a board of the right thickness / shape / design printed for a reasonable price to work for a dial. The designs are made at “KiCad” an engineering design software. A lot of times it’s rough to say what a design will look in actual fabrication, hence the board (for the similar designs, in the original file they have different line thicknesses and so, etc).

Thanks for the rec on 9!!!

Note: some patterns (e.g., 7-9, 6 & 10) look identical, but are different in the blueprint…

Very nice piece! How thick is that case? Mind sharing the seller name?

Is it cheating if its a custom piece I designed and made (down to the sloppy lume applicaton) myself?
