I'd love to have the link to the case pleaseI made this instead for about $175. I've been on an nh34/5 kick lately. They are so easy to put together. This case set is also hella nice - was around $100.

The rehaut is a bit deep. I don't find it unacceptable and it's less noticeable with the GMT bezel. Here's another one with the plain bezel.oh wow,
I love the NH movements. This is giving me good vibes. I would probably never buy a GS gen but for that kind of money, I will build one

You might be interested in these cases too. I have the GMT bezel one coming for another nh34 project.

I took one bezel off to attempt that but the construction was not like anything I've seen before. The rehaut, crystal and bezel came off in one piece. The rehaut was apparently glued to the bezel and held by a small screw while it cured. Someone overtightened the screw and sheared the head off. I don't think it would have mattered, as the joint between the rehaut and the bezel was so tight I couldn't get a razor blade in to even begin to separate it. No way to replace this crystal, good thing it's saphhire.

clearly they need to cut corners to get to that kind of price. The case is very nice though, and I don't mind the deep rehaut either.
and where did you get the GS dials? same shops?

Sometimes, but there are tons available. Some shops won't do logos at all, others offer with or without. Just look for details in the listings.
thanks I found some.
Not the nodate sunburst one though.
I will keep looking
The birch ones are mighty fine

Note that the nh34 dials have a larger center hole (just like Rolex GMTs) so if you want to use an nh35 dial for a GMT you can drill the dial center hole a little larger. I did that on the blue dial GMT.
Holy crap... This brand makes some nice looking timepieces. 
I had noticed the name a few times on AliX and mentioned on Reddit as well, but I wasn't aware of the excellent craftsmanship they have. Will need to take a closer look....

Don't want to turn this thread into a social science / political excursion, but just as a quick off-topic commentary: It’s sad that we have to take things like that into consideration, in certain cities. But here we are at the end of 2023...
