dieselpower Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbane883 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Great job. That Sternkreuz crystal is terrific. Amazing what $12 will buy you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droptopman Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akira Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Chiman once posted a great tutorial about it, if my memory serves me correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceejay Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCM21_88 Posted January 9, 2015 Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Love your Cartel Daytonas Akira, truly inspiring.
