Could you say what size wrist you are?
Trying to determine if it wears larger or smaller than the stated 40mm

Seriously, SO CUTE!

Just over 7” wrist size

I’m a little over 8” so it may be the photo angle but it looks like it wear quite big compared to a BP FF for instance.

I would compare it to the likes of a submariner

That bambino Egi looks excellent! Thanks for being the lab rat and getting one to show us! I’ve worn the heck out of my Baltany (doesn’t look as nice as yours though) I need to pick one of these up. I have many questions if you’ve got time.

Is the caseback a multi-screw or are those for show? If it’s a single thread what is the diameter? Would be cool if it’s swappable with an exhibition caseback.

What is the diameter of the inside? I’m guessing it’s at least 29mm, but if it’s bigger there might be room for a Valjoux 7739, and if it’s deep enough maybe a 7750. There is also a Miyota movement with a 9 o’clock seconds that should fit.

How is the bezel action? Titanium often has stealthy bezel clicks.

I’ll jump on board and put in a request for them to make a 47mm.

Just got one of these WM mini Egiziano watches, I was jealous of Hidden Impact

it’s excellent! What a ridiculous little toy. My son wants one with a Warhammer 40k theme dial. It’s a normal size version of an oversized watch, so it’s small next to the original, normal on the wrist but still seems like it’s big for no reason at all. Maybe it’s the blasted titanium. Looks like concrete, feels light as a feather. It’s a bit confusing.

The rotor noise from the Miyota is kind of loud, but I’ll be swapping that out for a different movement. The lume isn’t great, I’ll be swapping the dial out as well.

The inside of the case is about 30mm, so not quite big enough for a Valjoux 773X without a turn on the lathe. The crown guard is well done, but the lever scratches up the crown a little. The crown guard lever on mine was a little loose, fixed it buy adding an extra gasket under the crown. The crown is pretty well done and seems to have a good chance of keeping the watch water resistant. The bezel on mine is a bit tight, but the clicks are good.

It would be better if it had drilled lugs and an open caseback, but for the money it’s exactly what it promises to be. I’m very happy with it. I also asked if they would make a 47mm version, so here’s hoping!

Congratulations!! Looking forward for any tuning updates )) Im looking on Ali on it from time to time. still keeping myself in control, as I bought toooo many things to build. but this one should be not too hard to upgrade apart from shaping something unshapable )))

I use it occasionally, for example, when I need to push something between the dial and the movement to lift the dial. Sometimes it's very tight or glued with sticky dots. Using a screwdriver, etc., carries the risk of damaging the dial.

Sorry if this was meant for me! I’m better at responding if you PM me.

No worries Hidden, I’ve been a bit distracted and off the board for a bit. I sent you a PM regarding a compatible movement that might work well in this case.

I’d like to drill a hole or at least a dent on the 60 mark on the bezel. I’ve not really worked with titanium before, anyone have thoughts on the best way to go about this?

Of note- The bezel on mine was a bit too tight. I was able to pop it off to make adjustments, but it was a tough one and the inside of the bezel got pretty beat up. I was able to use a staking set to get the bends out of the inner rim, but getting the spring adjusted and everything back together was a process that took a few hours. I still consider myself a novice when it comes to anything but rebuilding basic movements so you guys probably won’t have much trouble.

Also, I’ve picked up a second one to build for my son, these builds get addictive. Progress pics soon.
