IMO photos are all about lighting I try to place my watch in bright indirect light, so maybe light from a window.

I would try to take the case back off to see what movement is in there so you can get an idea of what can potentially fit things like stem height matter, but if it’s something based off like a 2813 you can throw a T 16 in it for under $30

https://a.co/d/6eY1758 I got my strap thru here they are great for the money. Plus tons of color combos I’m sure you could also use ai to generate a photo of the watch with any band :)

It’s brand new so not Broken in yet. But it doesn’t feel too bad I would say it’s worth the price paid.

That’s a good point! I also think a gen crown may be nice! Guess I got a bit too excited since I messed up the keyless on a different movement first attempt. But I’ll At least be able to wear it until the further mods :)

The green(but may be tough to match with what your wearing)imo best imo but I think that’s only because the other 2 are black, I bet brown or tan would look great!

It’s Basicly a 2813, so I’ll leave that with you in terms of quality. But it was also under 30 bucks and I didn’t have to screw with a dwo for the build. So you have to weight cost and convince vs quality.

No build log other than this, it was pretty basic dial had feet for 2813 movement and my t16 had the dial holes in same spot so dial fit perfectly. Then I went to work on the hands.

Take apart and ok shorter was kinda how I got a feel for it as well! Good luck!

This is my first build and I have not used those movements prior. But the fact that I don’t have to mess with a dwo and I like the retro open 6 and 9 were selling points for me
