These are built by me then go on to the bay for sale. Each one is bespoke one of a kind build so any potential buyer gets a one of one.

Very cool! I’ve never seen some of the dials you’ve used. Where do you get those? I’ve always wanted to do a Rolex Hulk build with my Sea Urchin (SNZF17J1) and green bezel inserts are easy to come by, but I’ve never been able to find a matching green dial.

beau7816 Have you done a mod with minute markers on the dial and chapter ring or does it look to busy when combined and you instead go for one or the other?

Yes i have done a few and also swapped out the crystal for either red, purple or blue hue.

Searching for the dials is time consuming to get them at the right price point. I have sourced the from the Netherlands to Japan and India.

beau7816 Thanks for the reply mate but I think I didn't express my self correctly,

On the examples you posted the minute track is either on the chapter ring or on the dial. What I was asking if you have done a mod were the dial and the chapter ring both have the minute tracks on them.

I haven't see almost none like that online and I guess it's because when you have both at the same time it makes everything look to busy.

Beautiful watches BTW

The answer is no buddy. I prefer to keep the watch standard with a modern twist then sell them on the bay.

Very nice dial.

I have ordered the new release Damascus Dial (every one is uniquely different so no two are the same)

Just finished this mod and installed a red hue crystal and the incredible Damascus Dial. Each dial is unique and no two are the same because of the way they are produced (expensive £100 for dial)
