Hi guys...here I am.
I finished this Unimatic U2H inspired watch a few days ago. I didn't stay faithful to the model, but I wanted to customize the dial with my logo (now also used on other builds) and then instead of using the usual hands, I used those of the legendary Rolex California ref. 2940.
The dial has the peculiarity of changing appearance based on exposure to light. I also colored the hands to match the lume of the indexes. The movement is a low-beat 21jewel NH35 by TMI seiko.
Another peculiarity: I wanted to customize the edges of the lugs, filing those protrusions typical of that case.
Enjoy the viewing:

Lug ends look much more wearable (practical). Dial colour is excellent

Thanks mate. :thumbup:

The wording of European Fishing League is nice :lol: , but in fact they are the initials of my name and surname.
Incidentally, the same initials are also owned by a dear forum member @Elias Livadaris
