Fantasy blue Tudor snowflake build

[aeromatic]

Well This build started with a dial that i never ordered and came in a package of parts that i ordered ,it sat in my parts box for over a year as i am mostly into vintage builds

this dial just looked to modern to use in any build 

 

most of you will have seen my tudor blackbay fantasy or homage build , so after purchasing a ceramic case set from a member here (Watch parts for sale ) cheap i was going to build a project x type milsub using helenarou logos t dial , my watchmaker friend andreas (George loiz ) member wanted to make the crown guards pointed similar to the pelagos tudor sub, then we decided to use this blue tudor flake dial ,i then ordered a parnis full ceramic insert hoping that the blue colour will match the tudor blue dial

 

next i wanted a true ETA movement in this build so i bid on a rado 2836-1 eta i won it for 50 usd very clean and super condition so we got the ball rolling keeping in mind this is a low budget build and because it is a fantasy build no stress or worry trying to make it like the gen , and the best thing is there is no gen to compare it with which makes it also unique  so here are some photos , i wanted to fit it to the sterile bracelet it came with but the lug holes will not match up with the the bracelets .

Bloody awesome build mate   thanks for sharing !

[aeromatic]

I want to bevel the top of the lugs like the pelagos i think that would make the case look much better and along with a metal bracelet should be the icing on the cake

Stunning watch shame They don't make this model I'd have one
