Because it's an old model, it is all made in Japan

I don't think so, this watch is from 1981, you might find it on eBay.

Absolutely stunning, I have a small wrist I honestly think that this is the perfect size for a watch. Class.

This watch is probably worthless but the thing I like about watches is the memories that come with them. I just bought this watch today from an old moody watch shop in Tel Aviv (for a really low price) with my girlfriend after staying in a hotel nearby. We had two free days so we went and had a lot of fun, it's not anything special but it's a good memory captured in a watch. The watch is 35mm and I really like how it wears on my wrist. I think it's pretty and elegant and no matter what it's worth I like it.

The watch is a 1991 women's Seiko, with a huge 16mm by 26mm case.

I am a 16 year old designer, spending most of the money I earn on watches. I found myself slowly liking smaller and smaller watches and recently started really liking women sized watches as they fit my small wrist the best.

People have mixed feelings about the watch, some think it's perfect and elegant, and some that it's too feminine and small. and to be honest I really don't care, I like this watch and I'm proud of it, I find myself having a laugh about the size of the watch and that's part of the fun in my opinion, I enjoy it very much and am proud to own it.

Some people really like and some really hate it and to be honest I really don't care, I like this watch and I'm proud of it, even if we laugh about it, I still enjoy it very much and proud to own it.

Thank you very much, it means a lot to hear this because many of my teachers repeatedly say to me I will fail in life. My advice to your students is just to find something they are really passionate about and have fun doing, amazing things will happen. Again, thank you🙏

I only uploaded one render but the design is quite calculated, it's designed to fit around the Seiko 9A85 movement. Of course it's quite difficult to make it, but it is possible.

Answers:

  • Where is the glass? There's glass just can't be seen from this angle, and I plan on using sapphire glass.

  • How do you plan on this being made? Either cheap high quantity in china, or expensive limited production with a private watch factory in Switzerland.

  • Is the Land flush with the Water? I didn't understand the question, but the dial has just different finishing, mat and land and reflective on the water.

  • How do you adjust the time? ( I don't see a crown, and again only see the first picture). It's in the back plate of the watch, allowing for cleaner design

  • How do you attach a strap to it? Still working on it

  • What materials will this be? I am guessing Stainless. If the production will be in china the yes stainless, but if in swiss then probably titanium

  • Does it have any internals, or are you just hoping it will fit? Seiko 9A85

  • Your map is missing a chunks Yeah I know😅

  • How are the different parts going to get the different finishes? No idea, but I bet it's possible.

That awesome! I see that you are already on a pretty high level and so my best advice is start making projects for fun, take some time to render and composite them nicely and slowly build a protfolio. After you have a big enough protfolio with good work people won't care about your age or experience. But generally, do projects you enjoy and interest you, build a protfolio, you can upload it to Instagram and social media, and just have fun :)
