2021 build #1 - let’s see if I can get one done

[Tanukjaju]

Goal... to build an adventure / rugged mechanical vintage inspired watch I can travel/hike with

- water proof
- magnetic resistance
- 8 day (duh)

Ingredients:
Part 1. The dial.
Ross dial!


Raised numbers

Took me about 90 mins to separate the numbers and sand down the nubs. Test fitted and glued on

Lumed



Next update.... the movement and spacer.

Good start!
What size is the dial? And what size watch?

1 of 2? Grand prize in the Christmas lottery? A double nine version for a friend? His and her matched set? Two (too) many questions.

Good start!
What size is the dial? And what size watch?

The dial is 31mm.... case a hair under 40mm

[mention]Yoda[/mention], Ross made the dial last year. It’s been in a box for a few months.

[mention]binbin[/mention] I’ll make a double 9 if you can find someone who wants a double 3.

That's hot!

What glue did you use for the markers?
