Buddhabar Posted July 12, 2024 Report Posted July 12, 2024 7 hours ago, oldtools said: Beautiful! Specs? HI mate... Nothing complicated to be honest. The inspiration to do this build came when a member on Repgeek wanted to sell the case following an abandoned project. So I purchased it and started looking for the dial for Seiko, without taking the ones now emblazoned on many sites. Luckily I found it on Raffles Dial (with three variants of which one is now sold out) and finally I purchased an NH38 movement built by TMI by Seiko. I wanted to make a "sword" choice for the hands, respecting the dial indices a bit. So yesterday I received the strap (from ALI) which I wanted to adapt to the gray shade of the dial. 1

jackflash Posted August 11, 2024 Report Posted August 11, 2024 Couple of MoonSwatch reps. Subdial frozen @14.00 As the PE50 movement has 24hr subdial, rather than 1/10ths of a second. Light coating of matt varnish to give the dials some structure too. 1
