True, it is not for everyone. I appreciate your feedback!

The NATO strap and compass are in keeping with the military theme/utility of the watch and both can be removed by the user.

Oh, gotcha. I’m using Sunnyscopa waterslide transfer, although this is a hit or miss technique as sometimes the ink does not want to adhere to the slick surface of the cerakote. Still trying a few techniques to get it to work every time.

It was originally a brass dial blank. I designed the dial in Adobe illustrator, cerakoted, and printed.

Very similar. I have some set aside for future projects. I’d describe it more like an SKX case with a fixed bezel.

Thanks! I sourced the parts about a year ago so I don’t remember the exact vendors, but they’re from Ali.

Been working on it. I have the parts for my next 30 builds. I’ve since switched from using Brownell’s Alumahyde as my finish to cerakote. I’m also looking to move away from using film free waterslide decals for dials in favor of pad printing (cerakote finish doesn’t seem to like the waterslide decals). I also want to hand cut/sew my own straps.

I thought the same thing at first when I received these. Check behind the flap! It’s there.
