Re: Watch projects 2024
Explorer project final version, stainless case about 40mm, drilled through lugs, bracelet, Namoki dial, Mercedes hands, NH 35 movement, sapphire crystal. I opted for all white hands to make it more readable and less blingy. C3 lume is strong and long lasting. IMG_9010.jpg IMG_9011.jpg IMG_9014.jpg ...

Re: Unknown model
Seiko SNZG13 or 17 (big military) with SNKF11 dial and aftermarket hands.
I have done a couple of those, here is mine with a different case and original Seiko hands, both black and white versions.

Re: Need help on Tritium PIP/DOT
It is possible that the lume pip is specific to a watch/model so harder to get then just the tubes. Great that you can get those easily though, I have to admit that even though I thought about replacing some I did not want to get involved in dealing with such small parts... :grin: You did a great jo...

Re: Need help on Tritium PIP/DOT
Thank you David, I had no idea you live in China and I get that you are attached to that particular piece and that you want to upgrade the tubes, and it seems you have done well so far. The only places I saw these tubes being sold was on Ebay and I think a on line store, some years ago but again I n...

Re: Need help on Tritium PIP/DOT
I don't know where to get one of those however you can try contacting the company that makes your watch and see if you can get a whole bezel with a new pip on it. Hi Carlo thanks for your reply, I tried this method before, Isobrite said “we do not sell bezels”, and Deep Blue haven’t replied me yet,...

Re: Watch projects 2024
Thank you for the kind words. I have had a few mess ups, these are small parts and easily damaged. With practice and care one can successfully complete projects without "fatalities". :grin: The orange watch was just completed so I want to enjoy it a bit. I do have another Orange one that I might pos...

Re: Watch projects 2024
This one is actually an Islander Turtle so it already had the domed sapphire and lumed ceramic insert on the bezel. I added a Namoki dial and hands set along with a Seiko NE15 (6r15c) regulated movement. The bracelet is original Islander, this is Turtle Modello Numero Uno. IMG_8715.jpg IMG_8716.jpg ...

Watch projects 2024
This is a Seiko Turtle Special Edition, it was upgraded with a domed sapphire crystal, OEM Seiko Stargate Orange Dial, OEM Seiko Samurai hands.
