Hi guys...here I am. I finished this Unimatic U2H inspired watch a few days ago. I didn't stay faithful to the model, but I wanted to customize the dial with my logo (now also used on other builds) and then instead of using the usual hands, I used those of the legendary Rolex California ref. 2940. The dial has the peculiarity of changing appearance based on exposure to light. I also colored the hands to match the lume of the indexes. The movement is a low-beat 21jewel NH35 by TMI seiko. Another peculiarity: I wanted to customize the edges of the lugs, filing those protrusions typical of that case. Enjoy the viewing:

HI mate... Nothing complicated to be honest. The inspiration to do this build came when a member on Repgeek wanted to sell the case following an abandoned project. So I purchased it and started looking for the dial for Seiko, without taking the ones now emblazoned on many sites. Luckily I found it on Raffles Dial (with three variants of which one is now sold out) and finally I purchased an NH38 movement built by TMI by Seiko. I wanted to make a "sword" choice for the hands, respecting the dial indices a bit. So yesterday I received the strap (from ALI) which I wanted to adapt to the gray shade of the dial.

New build...

Fresh fresh for the summer..

Sometimes self-made watches are the ones you wear the most on your wrist.
