krpster Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 Look good for a first go. I think the dial is a bit too plain for me. Very cool to try making your own piece Did you start with one of these as the basis of your creation? I have that bracelet for my SOH and I like it a lot. Good choice! Looking forward to seeing your other creations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addingwatch Posted May 15, 2009 Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 I like the colors alot, but I kind of agree with krpster. What about moving the text to the other side - across from the day-date? It would balance the face and make it a little less plain. Over all I think it is excellent work. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kratom Posted May 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2009 indeed, that is the base piece. You would think that the dial and chapter ring are plastic, however its actually a metal alloy that has been factory painted. i tried to keep the dial as open as possible even the second hand tail was clipped in effort to further open the dial. I almost had the lume applied to the chapter ring to even further open the dial, glad i didn't, i really like that diamond at 12. Brand and model had to go on the face so since the day/date window was there i figured that would be the best place for it to help keep the dial open. i think it looks rather stealthy, but then again i am biased.
