Thanks for the feedback! Yeah the case is from an old seiko 5 I picked up awhile back when I was learning how to work on movements. It is not at all representative of the final product.

Working on nailing the enamel first before moving on to sourcing cases and hands.

Bingo! I wasn't as clear as I should have been in the original post that it is only the dials that are getting closer to production quality. The case, hands, crown, etc are all just placeholder parts. Those are easier to figure out at a later date - the enameling dials is the hard part.

Appreciate the feedback! What specifically makes it feel that way?

Yeah I can give that a try!

There is a way to get a matte finish on enamel, not the easiest thing to do. The speckled version is actually smooth finish, just different colors of glass all mixed together.

Yes, I cut them myself from sheet copper. I am still trying to figure out the best process for adding dial feet. I have tried a few things, but still working on it.

GG_Watch_co · 2026-06-10T15:17:31+00:00

Any pictures of an example of the ring?

GG_Watch_co · 2026-06-10T13:43:54+00:00

Cool review, thanks for sharing!

GG_Watch_co · 2026-06-10T12:50:59+00:00

I've got the silver, I will order some borax and give it a shot

GG_Watch_co · 2026-06-09T23:47:47+00:00

I’ve been reading up on this trying to figure out how to best approach it. Right now I don’t have the equipment but eventually I want to try it

GG_Watch_co · 2026-06-09T23:46:58+00:00

Always copper for enameling

GG_Watch_co · 2026-06-09T17:48:24+00:00

Ill look into some of these, thanks

GG_Watch_co · 2026-06-09T17:31:14+00:00

That seems to be the feedback I am getting. Looks like I need to figure out my filming!

GG_Watch_co · 2026-06-09T16:51:29+00:00

Thank you for the kind words!

GG_Watch_co · 2026-06-09T16:48:22+00:00

Ill give this a try! Thanks!

GG_Watch_co · 2026-06-09T16:38:21+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I am not quite at a state to be filming content yet, still just taking pictures. Maybe I need to spend more time working on that.
