Great shots! Natural habitat indeed!

(Where is that Bay btw?)

So after you swapped in the handset and dial you had a watchmaker seal and pressure test her?

Best,
I tested mine up to 6ATM without problem and I'm pretty certain it could be tested higher ... just some Seiko grease on caseback gasket and O-Ring ...

....and this one now received here in Australia.

Thank you manodeoro

Will post a pic once I've put her altogether.

I don't think I have already/will stuff up the seal but I want to wear my Doxa in its natural habitat so I will take her to get pressure tested because I won't otherwise know

A couple of modified Seestern 600Ts. If they go for more accurate hands in the next generation I might go for manodeoro dials. What do you think?

Same here. I would have already ordered a blue one if they had the correct hands. And I hope manodeoro is interested in making dials for them, I would definately order one.

I have just purchased a Seestern V3, which I am very happy with but I would love
to put a Doxa NUMA edition inspired dial on it. Any recommendations? I would like one in orange and another in the Aqua blue.

Apparently there will be a new kid on the block to play with.

Looks great! The Seestern crown logo gets removed pretty easily. There's also "Doxa" bracelets on ebay that you can poach a clasp off of.

I'm still awaiting news on the casebacks. LOL

@manodeoro
Hope you had a nice summer. Its been a while since we had a beer. Let me know if you are ever up my in my part of the world.
Have you ever made any GS dials ?

Hi my Northern friend ;) long time no see indeed ...
I've spent a week in Oslo last May but I was too much busy babysitting my grandkids ... my son was in France and my daughter in law was in Canada
I promise to let you know next time I'll be there ...

I've never made GS dials and I really don't think I'll ever do ... but "never say never" so maybe some day ...

BTW ... I'm working on a fun project I call "Norlex" ... the idea is to slim a 20 Kroner coin (27,5mm diameter) down to 0.5mm, add dial feet on the back and put it in a 5500 case ... maybe I'll use a sterile crown that I'll engrave with an "N" or maybe keep the crown ... the caseback would be engraved as a "standard" 5500 but with "NORLEX" in place of "ROLEX" :LOL:
