A Movado-like Watch For The Wife

[chris5264]

While year 9 doesn’t have the same impact of next year I thought I would do something that might make all the time I spend on watches pay off at least a little. This is the basic watch that comes with the first timezone class with a basic case for the 2801. I sanded down the dial and used some textured black paint which I think turned out pretty well. I was going for something like a movado look but with something unique to it. She wants silver hands, which I will get soon and replace, but overall I think it looks interesting. And it has the first movement that I put back together sucessfully.

I bet she'll love that one!

Just an idea, how about putting some Lume markers in? Say at 12, 3, 6 and 9....

I'd suggest this would destroy the simplicity of the design.

Agreed...maybe just a diamond at 12 O'clock...but that would be to movadish?

You put that together for her...that has much more value! congratulations

Thanks,,,,,,I considered a few things as markers,,,and certainly the idea of a single diamond at the 12 but she wants it really simple. And I wouldn't want to be accused of making a replica
