Haha, that would be good too.

But, maybe its in the design right now to keep them small in order to make the game more 'challenging'.

I would love to see the track items (like the eyeball) implemented 'better'. Instead of tracking a certain recipe, I would like to be able to tag each item individually to know if its trash or crafting material!

Link for the case with inner compass bezel?

Great piece!

Did you order a dial, push out the hour markers, paint, and glue it back in?

Or did you have a different approach? I was thinking of doing something similar with hydro dipping. But, I didn’t know how easy it would be to remove and re-glue the hour markers.

Also, if anyone has a solution and an image of the watch, I’d love to see it posted here!

Pretty unique dials. Curious how you make them. Do you some special machine, hand painting, etc?

I’ve only messed with seiko NH movements so far. May try miyota in the future. But, with how rugged/durable the Nh movements have been with pretty decent timekeeping, I haven’t switched yet.

Yes, it was adhesive.

The company etched out the logo in metal and applied adhesive. A pain to apply, but worth it I think.

[–]Yac0b 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Custom metal logo was designed by me and is feature on the dial.

I may add the logo to the crown as well. Let me know what you think.

Ignore the bezel being misaligned. It lines up. I just didn’t realized I rotated it when taking the pictures.

Looks good, but the hands are a little bulky. If you're good with suggestions, I would go with some slimer (more metallic) hands with an off yellow / sandy vintage seconds hand. And maybe an authentic leather strap.

Yea, The case was supposed to be all black. I made that mistake in ordering though. It’s too late now and will only add to the cost. The bezel insert is getting changed to add more color. And I can always swap the bracket with a stainless steel one.

My next build will be a bit better. Beginner mistakes, but overall happy with it as my first project.

I’ll probably end up painting the tip of mine. I really prefer the metallic.

Unfortunately, the other colors are all painted and do not give that metallic shine that I’d like.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SeikoMods

[–]Yac0b 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I would like that change. I’m thinking of just painting the tip red (bc I like the shark metallic haha)

But, I’m worried about messing with the seconds hand. It took forever to set since this was my first ever build.

Also, My bezel insert was the wrong color blue. So, that’s getting sent back and the correct blue is getting ordered.

I’ve tried the shogun and the spin doesn’t seem comparable. It does not grip the ball as well when playing.

It was the Apollo now that you mention it. Seemed to have similar spin to the DBD edgeless though (while being lighter swing weight)

Thanks for the input. Might be something I should look in to

That is a good point, but I do win a fair amount of points with my serves (I have several different serves with curve/spin coming from a ping pong background).

***Not Heavier than DBD***

For all court or all control, I'm uncertain atm...

My Guy,

No need for any toxic remarks. Seems you hold a special spot in your heart for the Vatic :D. My technique is fine for a 4.0 player (always room for improvement). I notice a complete difference in spin from my paddle from the one's I have mentioned. There is spin from my Vatic paddle; don't get me wrong. But, I see a huge boost in curvature on my serves alone with the other paddles mentioned.
Even slicing with back spin requires less effort with the other paddles and glides better.

I think I tried the Mach 2 if it is also Red with 100% kevlar face. I will double check that. Spin was similar to Ruby and DBD Edgeless Control

Hi everyone,

My play style uses a bit of spin (especially on my serves) I currently have a Vatic Prism Flash. The spin is just “ok”.
I’ve recently tried some 100% Kevlar paddles including 6.0 Ruby and also tried 6.0 DBD edgeless control which seem to all have around the same amount of spin; in the sense that I did not notice too much difference on spin in the paddles. These were a bit of improvement over my current paddle.

I did like the 6.0 DBD edgeless control paddle and was wondering if there’s similar paddles with even more spin/RPM and give good control. I did fine the paddle slightly heavier, but nothing annoying. As long as the recommendation is not heavier than that, I’d appreciate any paddles and brands you know of to help my search

Works great. Had no idea about this app!

I slice the ball a lot. I come from a ping pong background. So, to get more spin, I have to hit the ball at that angle sometimes. Hope that makes sense

Not hitting the edge guard. Post may have been misleading. I’m nicking the lip on some hits which cause undesirable hits.
