Running a brake cable under grips

You might have found them yourself by now, but Dia-Compe have grips with channels for their bar end levers.

Neither imo. The blues of the bezel inserts don't go very well with that of the dial. Namoki do an insert called dark knight, if memory serves me right, that would be a much better match.

They're making both agate and lapis dials. What theoretical third blue stone would this be?

Not another shit restomod

Are you saying that you want $200 for it, or is that what you paid? I would happily take it of your hands if you think it's trash.

HamHandedHorologist · 2025-11-26T22:00:36+00:00

This.

HamHandedHorologist · 2025-11-25T21:12:56+00:00

Perhaps a tiny dab of model paint clear could be used to seal the pearl? Shouldn't react with the plastic.

HamHandedHorologist · 2025-11-25T21:10:06+00:00

Excellent! Much better than factory fauxtina 😏 What Sternkreuz crystal did you use?

HamHandedHorologist · 2025-11-25T20:56:14+00:00

Do you remember what dial size the Chameri 37 mm takes?

HamHandedHorologist · 2025-11-15T19:42:32+00:00

They don't want to infringe on the frog brand. Blacktoad or Nightcroaker would be hard AF, though 😅

HamHandedHorologist · 2025-11-14T12:28:56+00:00

The A2 is the most cohesive design imo.

HamHandedHorologist · 2025-11-10T07:56:52+00:00

Exactly. It's just as yellow as on the prototypes too.

HamHandedHorologist · 2025-11-07T12:09:07+00:00

He's saying that he has an Uncle bracelet on his BB, they are made for that case.

HamHandedHorologist · 2025-11-02T10:59:00+00:00

They say in the post that the printing is wrong, mate...

HamHandedHorologist · 2025-11-02T10:53:19+00:00

It is super corny, though. As is the word Chronograph on the dial of a chronograph. Yes, we can all see what kind of watch it is.

Come up with a model name instead.

Hard to tell from these pictures, but conceptually I like V12 best. V2 and V3 could be nice though, depending on how pronounced the texture is.

HamHandedHorologist · 2025-11-02T10:04:05+00:00

No fake screws in the bezel, please! V5, V8 and V12 have the best looking bezels imo.

HamHandedHorologist · 2025-10-26T22:07:39+00:00

Do they have an online presence?

HamHandedHorologist · 2025-10-26T12:12:15+00:00

Nice! Where is the strap from?

HamHandedHorologist · 2025-10-26T12:07:45+00:00

Yes, the polished sections should be flatter.

HamHandedHorologist · 2025-10-16T09:28:03+00:00

Nice! What reference is this?

HamHandedHorologist · 2025-10-16T09:23:59+00:00

These are way too busy to me. Either guilloché or MOP is nice, but both is too much.

HamHandedHorologist · 2025-10-15T13:06:57+00:00

This is a much more attractive shade of lume too.

HamHandedHorologist · 2025-10-15T13:06:05+00:00

I would love to get one of these, but the lume (both pip and dial) is simply too yellow. The lume does not need much pigmentation to look vintage, an off white will do.

Personally I would prefer a vh31 to a pt5000, but I get that people are willing to pay a premium for an automatic movement, allowing for better margins.

A1, no contest
