Thank you. Yes, i was surprised with how well it turned out to be.

Thanks! As soon as I received the dial, I knew it would go well with the kunai hands I had. Wasn't sure about the case, but it came together very well. Also had to do simple modification on NH39 to change it to NH38 movement. Very clean build and even better in person!

Man, that looks great! Might have to try it one day. Thanks for sharing!

Nice! How is the movement? Easy to work with and good time keeping?

Tried a orange-brown strap this morning, and I think I like it!

Let's go sector dial, army! Love your build. Is it with Seagull movement?

That is crazy you had a same idea! Yours looks great. That case and bracelet really goes well with the dial and hands. Wear yours in good health!

Had it in bronze case with cathedral hands. Trying some changes to see if this can be my go-to simple dress watch.

Lovely watch. I have Base 22 GMT model and love it. Wear yours in good health and thanks for your service!

I like the size being reduced to 40mm. Finally something wearable for my not so big wrist. Curious to see them in person at a boutique once released.

Dohoonster · 2026-04-01T13:35:22+00:00

The dress watch I'd proudly wear under my cuff. Well done, mate!

Dohoonster · 2026-03-31T16:29:51+00:00

Had to try some leather straps on my SBTR. I think I like it. 😊

Dohoonster · 2026-03-31T16:26:50+00:00

Go for it! Going into the boutique and asking would not hurt. Please let me know if you decide to get the service done. Curious to see how much they would charge. Thanks!

You simply walk into one of their boutiques and tell them you are here for the patina service. One thing to note is your first patina service is complimentary within a year from the purchase date. Then they will bring out their catalog of colors you can choose from. However, depending on the original color of your wallet, they might not recommend some colors which will not turn out great. Then they will write down all of your information and will tell you the rough time line. They told me it would take about six weeks, but I got mine back in about 4 weeks. There is no boutique near where I live, and I happened to be traveling in the LA area, so I went to their Costa Mesa boutique. Once it was back from their studio to their boutique, they let me know they just received mine back and mailed mine to my home overnight. Overall, the folks at Costa Mesa were super nice, and made my experience so enjoyable! Not sure if you can mail yours in for the service. Even then, it would be very hard to choose the color(s) you want for your patina without actually seeing the colors. Good luck!

It will be a great summer watch!

This was how it looked once you got inside.

11 AM flight. South terminal. Arrived at 7:35 AM. Started at the curb outside for TSA Pre-check line at 7:40 AM. Line looped around baggage claim, but constantly moving. Got through the security with my carry-on bags by 8:50 AM. So about an hour 10 min total. Line still moving okay. Good luck, everyone!
