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.

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.

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.

What glue did you use for the markers?
