HaydenM Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Oh man... Now that's what I want! Top notch! If you don't end up getting one from SSteel then it was actually a relatively simple build to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robpatte Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 If you don't end up getting one from SSteel then it was actually a relatively simple build to be honest. HaHa. I'm sure I could find a way to screw it up, you've read the pain I'm in with my TT 1016. But PM me with details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydenM Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 I will take more when I can but unfortunately pretty much since I took these photos my 5D has refused to turn on :/ I'm definitely happy with how it turned out but I'm not sure about the case shape and I know that the engravings on it are wrong (useless unless wearing it on a strap, which I sometimes do).

HaydenM Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Wow! Nice! How is the bracelet btw? The bracelet isn't too bad, the last bracelet I had was the tudor black bay which was spectacular in weight but didn't size to my wrist. So for a ≈$60 bracelet I am impressed.

HaydenM Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 A few more photos of the watch (unfortunately it seems like my DSLR is dead, so we shall see what happens with that. These were shot with an iPhone 4). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
If you see Kay Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Nice job. I don't wear mine nearly enough. Time to fall in love with the 1016 again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
