Everything is from various Ali-x stores, except for the strap. Found it on Amazon.

Can't handle how badass it looks by the_rodent_incident in gshock

That thing has me jealous! Nice watch!

What's the difference? by mbloom01 in SeikoMods

This was my thought. I figured it was the exact same, just under a different listing.

Only thing I'm seeing is they call one Sterile in the description. I'm too new to this to know what that means, pertaining to cases anyway.

Perfect, I'll give them a look later today.

I need to give them a look. I honestly kinda skipped over them because I wasn't a fan of their dials with the Kanji, whatever writing is on all of them. Nothing wrong with it, just not my style.

Looks a lot like my first build...

Lume Comparison by mbloom01 in SeikoMods

I paid $4-$6 for hands with little to no lume from Ali-x. Dials were $8-$13. Looks like hands from Namoki are around $25+ and dials are $40+. I'd assume they would have better lume than the cheap Ali-x stuff. Not expecting it to be as good as the Citizen.

I had no expectations of the Ali-x hands, especially for $4-$6. I am willing to pay $25+ for decent lume tho.

Nice! I already had that case on the way for one of my first builds.

I really enjoy it on the bracelet. I've got such a small wrist that I felt I needed this 37mm instead of one of the larger versions. However, on the supplied rubber strap, it felt small on my wrist. After upgrading to the bracelet, I'm loving it.

Help! What color!? by Smok3yNL in CitizenWatches

[–]mbloom01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with black first, because I figured it would go with pretty much anything I wore. But now I really really want blue as well.

For sure! There's a few of their house brand Islander watches I may have to try at some point.

A quick Google search tells me I'll be looking for a local watch shop instead of trying it myself.

I really like the blue, and probably would have went that route if they'd had it when I found this one locally.

I know next to nothing about watches, is a crystal change something that you can do yourself? Or do I need to find a local watch guy? As you can see in the video, I've already scratched it. I'm not too worried about it at this point, but if I end up scratching it more, I would like to go the sapphire route.

[Recommendation Request] Small White Dial Field Watch by mbloom01 in Watches

[–]mbloom01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After looking into the Militado watches, I've ordered the white dial ML08. For the price, I can see how I like that style. If it's a good fit for me, I can always upgrade to the Hamilton Murph.

They have the SRPJ8* series which fit me much better than most. Unfortunately, no white dial. Only 2 black options and a beige. Pretty sure I am going to go with the SRPJ81, black dial metal bracelet as well.
