Holo That is good spirit from you! Like I said, as a modder, I totally understand your intention of putting up the harsh barrier to filter off the noobs. Sometimes in this hobby its totally necessary! With the adjustment of your post, there is no reason why anyone should start picking on your attitude again. Let me clean up your thread and lets start afresh. Thank you also for being one of the guys on the frontline helping others. I will make sure that your time here is as pleasant as possible sir. Please, allow me to clean up your thread including your own responses to others. I hope the 4 watches find their lucky owners soon. If you need any help, I am just a PM away. Remember we are here to help YOU achieve what YOU want, and that was the sole purpose of my posts to you.

Minutes hand 3rd from the top? Is that for a 1016 build, fractionally shorter? I was going to say Sea Dweller hand next to the top because it’s curved but there’s another curved one below.

Funny you said that, Because I had actually planned to do so people understand the tedious work and the level of detail. Couldnt care less if someone else does a watch bracelet 1h. I could say I can do one in 10 min. But I need/want 4 hours before it achieves the level of perfection i want. some teasers (not all the hands, remaining are in transit) Can anyone see the anomaly? Which hand doesnt belong?

Well said Legend!

PALAWAÏ SUB 300 T ... Divinstar hommage "Adopt a Dive Site" logotype Some weeks after I finished the first SUB 300 T dial my elder son saw it and asked me if I could make a Doxa hommage based on a Seiko turtle. I ordered a blank NH35 dial from a Seiko parts website, measured the date window dimensions and position and modified the general dial design so that it could fit the dial plate. Then I worked on the "name" and "logotype" ... Name : Around his 20ies my son had an "ephemeral" surf shop ... The shop name was "Palawai" ... from Palavas in south of France, where his shop was based, and Hawaï ... guess why ... So the name of that Doxa hommage had to be "PALAWAI" ... Logotype : My son, though working as an Oil and Gas engineer, is involved in ocean protection ... plus he's a seasoned diver ... So I've decided to place an "adopt a dive site" logotype on the 3rd quadrant of that custom dial ... Of course the dial feet are placed for a date window at 3:00 The dial was supposed to be yellow at first, as it's a Divingstar hommage, but lately my son asked me to make it orange

After some extra consideration. All proceeds from this project will be donated to the forum OR 1 watch head for something like a raffle for all VIP+ members with 6months+ or something like that. Need to do a final calculation in the end and discuss it with admin/mods.

That was very kind of you, thank you. We do our best, but a LOT of medics and nurses are getting burned-out.

my tip is dont bleach at all. use Bergeon ultrafine abrasive block 5444A. Never use sandpaper. Mount the insert in a bezel on a watch. (Ye this will also soften the bezel teeth a little bit, if this is a problem use a separate bezel). The bezel protects the external border (If you can create a recessed fit before starting. and the plexi protects the internal border. Put more pressure on the outer parts. Slowly. Slowly. Slowly. When done, try adding heat with a stormlighter with circular moves. As soon as you start seeing brown tones. Stop. ThIs removes most of the shine, and makes the colors way more natural. @jackflash I would recommend trying it as I know exactly what you mean with the purple tones.

@hologramet will advise you to tone it down a little if you want to get buyers. Your knowledge and skills are undisputed but your conditions come across as somewhat harsh (though as a modder I do get what you mean) Go easy, your filtering will work automatically based on which member you choose to respond to.

Gnarly!

Wow, that’s just fantastic dial work
