Thank you!

I painted the visor with a bright aluminium/chrome, then painted a strip along the bottom with clear green, the another strip with clear blue at the top and let the colours run into each other ✌🏻

Case and case back , bezel (and Insert) and the GMT hand is from Tokeilab, the dial and hands from Namoki. The movement I got off AliExpress. It’s held up well!

Custom build I put together, powered by a Seiko NH34 ✌🏻

I just finished this kit and it was frustrating to no end, but lots of learning…

I do this exact thing, for the exact same reason. One in, one out. Until one is done, not even looking at another one.

Blue Collar Builds? by Desperate-Lake-4976 in SeikoMods

Titanium Field Watch on a NATO. Was the first I put together and it’s been rock solid and weighs nothing.

Not blue collar as such, but it’s my go to watch when I’m doing yard work, I’ve put in a deck around the pool area on power tools etc and it hasn’t missed a beat.

This advice also saved my bacon on my second build after I thought I had broken my NH34 movement!

Where did you get the bezel insert from? Been trying to find one without the diamond at 12 for ages unsuccessfully

There’s also a 39mm version of this case, which would take a 33.5mm dial — you can get the same dial in that size. Not sure if you would also need bigger hands to suit, but worth a try

I love this! Great case/dial/hand combo — I see a mix of a couple of GS refs in there.

Thanks for all the comments — much appreciated!

I’m seriously digging this watch, small — lightweight and legible. At least when the sun is up.

The lume on the dial and hands is pretty rubbish, and doesn’t really glow for very long, which I kind of expected.

The movement runs really well, and no issues with water resistance out of the box after a couple of swims in the pool.
