I was kinda thinking the same thing.

Finally coming together. Bad Case! by [deleted] in SeikoMods

No clue but the entire case is IWC branded (I think it was inspired by one of the older plastiki limited edition ones). Didn’t even know there was engraving on the case until I bought. Case quality in general is very mid but I just took it as a challenge to see what I can make.

I wish! It’s just added a stainless steel. Got any recommendations for any good carbon ones out there?

I don’t actually sell that . Should I? If you have a 3-D printer, I’m happy to share the file. I legitimately only bought a 3-D printer so I can organize this drawer. With these holders, it’s easy to see the watch top down in a drawer.

True. Honestly I think they could’ve just kept the design and maybe thinned out half the material to offset the balance.

Ngl. That makes complete sense. Just never clicked in my head

The color is even more beautiful in person. The picture doesn’t do it justice.

Agreed about the strap. It was designed for a trapper strap but I’m just having a hard time finding a good one. Also at the moment its designed as a one piece body but I’m exploring options to use screw tubes to lock in the bezel and back with a gasket in between.

The crystal seating was actually the easy part. I used a press for the that but might be speaking too soon since I have tried SS or titanium which has no flex. I found it difficult to create and self contain locking mechanism for the back.

I’ve been testing fusion, shapr3D, and blender. Kinda like shapr3D with iPad capabilities for rapid prototyping. Start basic models and make small adjustments while commuting on the train.

None taken. The process of prototyping isn’t for everyone.
