Do self build watches get the love in here?
This is my second build, I wanted a more relaxed every day watch with good readability as my eyesight is starting to go. I also fancied a bronze case and will let the patina form naturally. Any scratches, marks or dings will, I think, add character.
Inside is a Seiko nh36 to give me some options later if decide I need day/date.
Thought I’d made a mistake with the white hands but now really like them. It’s nothing special or expensive but it meets my needs perfectly.
Can’t go wrong with the bronze on a leather strap!
Looks very nice. Do you know which alloy of bronze? Where did you get the case?
It’s from Ali. CuSn8 alloy.
@RandomUser @watches I just put together a bronze, too! I forced the patina on mine as a tribute to the Titan “minisub”. Poor taste, I know.
Gosh darn that is clean. Love the pop that the flat white hands give.
