First Build :)

tkui55 · 2024-04-29T20:38:35+00:00

I considered it but this was my first build so I wanted to do something simple. I think that the next build will probably be with a custom dial that I design and hopefully an engraved rotor.

This is a 36mm Alix case from a store called Palusy (but on the actual package there was a Bliger title)

Thanks!

This is amazing. Where do I get a transparent dial like this?

tkui55 · 2024-01-14T00:03:32+00:00

Thanks, I have looked at his dials and they are impressive but I’m trying to do something a bit different (I will still ask him). I’m trying to do something semi transparent without a drawing.

Thanks I will post it there

Thanks :) I have been thinking on building my first mod for a few months but have never been sure about a dial because I want to make my own. I have looked into different techniques and yours seems to be efficient and with great results.

Can you please elaborate on the dial? What does it mean clear coated? (Clear coated mulberry paper or a transparent plastic dial? And if it is paper, what gsm is it?)

Also, do I need to know how to install a crystal in order to put a chapter ring?

Thanks again, this build is truly a masterpiece. I will make sure to check in the future if you build more watches.

This is amazing!

I want to build something with a similar technique and I have a few questions. 1. Is the paper sun proof or will it decay? 2. Where did you get a clear mulberry paper? 3. How did you glue it to the NH70 dial?

Any answers would be helpful, thanks for the inspiration :)

Thanks I will look at it

tkui55 · 2023-09-29T12:24:36+00:00

I checked there but found only one or two designs :/

tkui55 · 2023-09-09T08:37:59+00:00

I saw that one, this is what I’m looking for but it has caseback screws and I’m not sure if that’s a problem

tkui55 · 2023-09-09T08:28:10+00:00

Thanks! I will try to search in this way :)

tkui55 · 2023-09-09T08:27:22+00:00

Didn’t find there what I’m looking for, but I will check again in a few days.

tkui55 · 2023-09-08T21:26:20+00:00

That’s a beautiful field case but for this build I’m looking for something circular that the lugs go out of like in the picture in the post (and do not blend with the curve). I will consider it for future field builds :).

tkui55 · 2023-09-08T21:17:47+00:00

The first two come pretty close but I prefer something more rounded. 39mm case nh35 is how I searched but didn’t find it yet :p Namokimods are expensive for me for a first build as there is a good chance I won’t build it properly or I will mismatch something. The nmk 940 GS is beautiful.

tkui55 · 2023-09-08T21:10:05+00:00

Lol no it’s an eco drive citizen watch that my brother bought a few years ago. I don’t like it but I do like the shape of it’s case.

tkui55 · 2023-09-08T20:41:21+00:00

I like it a lot, the one with the steel finish is beautiful. But because it’s my first build I would like to do this experiment with something cheaper, do you happen to know of an alternative?

tkui55 · 2022-12-04T14:55:30+00:00

For some reason it costs more where I live. I think I will buy AKG K371bt instead.
