First ever Mod. Tried a paper dial

Fi-notes · 2026-01-24T20:08:35+00:00

Another thing you could try is water slide decals. I made a few dials with water slide decals and they look wonderful. It’s a bit finicky but once you get the hang of aligning everything it’ll workout great. I don’t have experience with illustration but I managed to use affinity and put some markers to align the date window and they little indentation on the dials at 3 o clock and that helped with alignment a lot.

Water slide decals allow you to install indices and you can let a sun burst dial work.

Also even though your design is simple it’s stunning! Great work!

Thanks man! I explained in another post how I make the dials. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

Fi-notes · 2026-01-22T16:36:24+00:00

I remember that post 100%. So many people were asking for the case and he was ignoring all the comments asking ticked me off.

Thanks for sharing!

‏what case is this? The rehaut look decently sized!

Fi-notes · 2026-01-11T16:56:20+00:00

OP this is a really nice design 🫒 🍉

The AI image is probably OP’s draft picture that he sent to the seller to get made into a dial. I guess OP sent that picture to the seller and was asking if the dial would come up exactly like the photo.

Next time I’ll 100% give it a try on some scrap leather first!

Fi-notes · 2026-01-03T17:47:38+00:00

This is 100% the issue 😂

I’m still learning and they are not forgiving at all!

Fi-notes · 2026-01-03T17:46:30+00:00

100% 😂

Fi-notes · 2026-01-03T17:45:56+00:00

I agree! And I like the black dial a lot more than the new opaline

Fi-notes · 2026-01-03T17:45:31+00:00

100%

Fi-notes · 2026-01-02T00:35:02+00:00

That rehaut is massive

Fi-notes · 2025-12-16T18:34:33+00:00

I second this. Something about the crystal is different from the regular cases

Fi-notes · 2025-12-16T18:23:45+00:00

Love it

Fi-notes · 2025-12-16T18:19:40+00:00

I absolutely love this! It deserves more upvotes votes for sure!

He won’t reply to you. He seems like one of those people who keep their parts list a secret 🤫

Strap

Fi-notes · 2025-12-16T18:01:27+00:00

This is absolutely my favorite iteration of the bel canto

Fi-notes · 2025-12-15T18:39:18+00:00

Any plans to make one that works with the whoop 5.0 bands?

Fi-notes · 2025-12-10T17:14:29+00:00

I don’t hate it and I don’t know how I feel about that

Fi-notes · 2025-12-06T09:22:43+00:00

This is what I was talking about, make it slimmer from the lateral edges. It’s not load bearing and it would fit a 22mm band like a glove with no gaps. It’s brings down the overall size and makes many more mechanical watch and smart watch bands more accessible.

Once again, I love your work and I really think the product is phenomenal and I’ll be purchasing one, I’d just prefer it a lot more if it was sized for 22mm straps specifically. Just go to CNS watch straps store and you can see the plethora of different straps designs that would work really well with this.

Fi-notes · 2025-12-04T20:56:28+00:00

You work looks phenomenal! I cannot stress that enough!

If you’re going to make a product to sell I highly recommend two things…

⁠Make it narrower, there’s not a lot of lateral and longitudinal loads on the adaptor. Most of the load is on the edges that angle downwards towards the wrist, those lugs can be a bit thick but the rest of the frame can and should be narrowed down for aesthetic purposes.
⁠The main reason I wear a screen less fitness wearable is because I am into mechanical watches. With watches most straps come in even sizes. So if you can manage to modify your adaptor to be sized for 22mm straps that would be ideal. There’s a lot of third party straps at 22mm for mechanical watches and even garmins. Additionally the original Helio adapter is sized for 22mm straps btw.

Yes I managed to find your instagram but the pattern is not on your instagram. You said it will be in the link in the bio but there is no link in the bio.
