dieselpower Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 I love a budget build. After all isn't that what we're all about? This one's a cracker. Excellent work. Lovely watch.
Kime Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Nice job ! I always like your rep hands mod

dbane883 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Great job. That Sternkreuz crystal is terrific. Amazing what $12 will buy you.
freddy333 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Works for me, but you should always include at least 1 full frontal pic of the watch posed in normal orientation (ie, 12 at top of pic). 1
droptopman Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Very nice work. Like the vintage lume on dial and hands looks like a believable aging. Also like the dome plexi better than the flat top on mine. 1
lhooq Posted January 8, 2015 Report Posted January 8, 2015 Very good! Now prepare to answer all the PMs asking how to contact DW...

Akira Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Posted January 9, 2015 Chiman once posted a great tutorial about it, if my memory serves me correctly.
ceejay Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Is it a functioning mod or frozen? I guess being the Cartel it's the ST19 movement that's frozen? Regardless, it's a cracking dial and build. I'm well jealous!
WCM21_88 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Posted January 9, 2015 Love your Cartel Daytonas Akira, truly inspiring. Been meaning to PM you and collaborate, pick your brain lol Just received a Clark's T21 today myself, looks pretty nice! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
