Excellent job........, but.......shouldn't the lume be less bright than that???

Any tips on how you installed the strap and the process of soldering the lugs? I would really appreciate that!

Thank you......and well done!

Beautiful looking watch! I am really liking these more and more!!! That caseback is very cool looking. Where did you source that one?

[Member X]

I like it - it's hard to know where to draw the line at making things look old (IMO, that is) but it looks great

it really looks like a watch used by german military units around 1945 amazing aging work

thanks guys!

THe lugs are soldered, but the center part comes apart to allow strap swapping.
