It was fun - made to be assembled basically. Like legos. Now that I know how, I can assemble other custom pieces for fun and gifts …….

A basic NH35a movement assembly…….

Congratulations! It's a lot of fun, isn't it! 🧐

 

[Brey17]

Looks pretty good!

 

[BundyBear]

Congrats! It looks like fun and nothing more satisfying than strapping on the watch that you assembled yourself!

I could see myself wearing that too!

Congrats, glad you have the patience. I lack that, the manual dexterity and most importantly; the restraint to heave it against the wall when I ultimately screw up

Looks good! If I may ask, where did you get the bag from? Or is it part of their merchandise?

That bag is part of their tool kit….. it goes for a few dollars upcharge on the kit. The whole thing came neatly in that bag.

Very nice work. Love the hands.

Hope you enjoy it.

Congrats on your custom watch DYI build — it looks great. Plus, the strap does an excellent job complementing it. Enjoy!

 

[Jonathan T]

Nothing like something you built with your own hands! Good job!

How long did it take?

How long did it take?

2 1/2 hours with breathers in there.

That sounds like a fun way to spend an evening! I’m definitely interested in trying it out.

Respect.

Nice looking watch! I like the size/spec too….

Do the tools seem to be high quality?

Also, did you paint the second hand yourself?

I may have to try this out!

Second hand ordered as an extra on their site already colored red (they have as a 10$ accessory)

Tools were okay. Totally good for the job and future jobs, but, no, not Bergeon quality. They worked well for me. The hand setter is a must. I think the total value is really high.

Nice watch! Tempted to try it but as of now I don’t even have time to do essentials. But definitely it will be on my to do lists. Where do you get a set like that?

 

[Medusa]

Very cool! Looking forward to your next mod or model.

Working over that rug with small parts seems dangerous… Congrats! Looks really nice.
