Newbie, first build ever, cartel 1675 albino fuscia

[Redheart]

Wanted to give it a shot with a cheap base as an experiment and I think I am gonna have it later build by a better builder than me with a a2836 down the line.

But I got that cheap Dhgate 1675 with a 2813 and gave it all I could!

Cartel 1675 case, crown bracelet datewheel and 2813
After market case back
​​​​​​raffles hands
Vietnamese dial
fuscia insert
Bezel Clarks
Plexi Clarks
oh I had to use the cartel second hands because I couldn't for the life of me fit the raffle one!

Well done mate, great first build

Looks great! The fuscia insert is really set off by the albino dial - nice combination.

Thanks all! I wanna thank all the great tutos here and the great people who share their knowledge cause. I really want to make it better and procrastinating is my worst enemy...

The insert is from the guy on Instagram.

At first I wanted regular insert but those I have just don't look as nice as the fuscia one. And I have to say i loved the combination as soon as I tried!
