What a nice watch, what a build!
I also put a slighly smaller strap because it was the only one I had in hand. But I like that the bars are showing.

Is this case still on Ali? I’d like to get that bezel to put on the raffles case, thanksTo update this build thread, I ended up buying the AliExpress case that @369mafia shared in another thread. The shape is very nice, but the lug holes are too far to the edges to be drilled to 1.2mm/1.3mm. As a result, I used the bezel off that $29 case and installed it on my Raffles build.
The bottom of the bezel has teeth that need to be sanded off (180 grit sandpaper), and then I went around the edges of the bezel with the same grit to give it some wear. Then I heated it up with a torch, and brassed it with a wire wheel. Photos below, but I think this greatly adds to the appearance of the build having a more gen-like bezel design. The brass still needs to tarnish a bit as this was just completed last night!
It is!
