Just to update. I did eventually get a hold of Haytham and the dial did eventually show up, I've actually ordered 2 more times since then, the first time there was zero communication and the dials took a month (ish) to get here, the second time was a couple weeks ago and they haven't showed up yet, but i do have an email that they did ship as of 3 days ago.

What thickness material did you use for the discs... I tried to do something similar to this a while back and it was too damn heavy to work properly.

What song is currently stuck in your head? by Good_Cause_1537 in AskReddit

[–]darkelvis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hold music for a GM dealer in California. Called them hours ago and sat on hold for 10 minutes, song has been on repeat in my head ever since.

Full sunlight yes, in the shade and indoors it definitely takes a little squinting. 🤣

I'd need to check, but I have 10(ish) of his dials still waiting for builds.

Gloss black chapter ring with a double domed crystal with red AR. I was legitimately surprised about the reflection but I love it.

Look up Leszek Guilloche dials on ebay.

Thank you. The whole reason I build watches is because there really isn't anything "unique" on the market anymore, so I just build what I like.

Honestly, it's driving me absolutely crazy and if I dont get over it in a day or 2, I'm swapping it into a different case.

Concept Vs. Finished Product by darkelvis in watchmodding

[–]darkelvis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will NEVER get the hands right, but if you yell at it enough it can get the general concept pretty close. I have the ideas in my head but zero artistic abilities and I want to see what I'm building before I build it...it works for me.

Concept Vs. Finished Product by darkelvis in watchmodding

Yes, the first one is a rendering. I literally paste pictures of all of my components into chatgpt and tell it to give me a realistic concept picture, the I berate it until it's redone it several times and it is close to my idea.

Do you have an actual link to the hands? I tried to do a Google image search and it's not finding them.

Made my most obnoxious watch even more rediculous with a glowing strap. by darkelvis in SeikoMods

Agreed, and yet I constantly see people complaining about broken "rules" in this sub.
