After months of gathering parts and numerous things going wrong, my little project is finally done. This forum has been a huge help thanks to all the wonderful tutorials.
The case is a Sub-C case, I had to enlarge the rehaut 2mm to fit the dial, built a custom movement holder, I think more sock resistant, dial and hands done with C1 Luminova, lumed the bezel with blue superlume, ETA 2836 movement. It's not much but I'm pretty proud of it.
The watch was also supposed to get a double domed sapphire but the first one I've received they shipped the wrong one and for a replacement I received another one with the wrong size :facepalm: so for now I gave up.

It has a decent glow, not quite torch like C3, but it's the trade off for getting white markers.

The lume looks bright enough to me. Good job on the lume for sure!!:cheers:

Doing something like this yourself is priceless! Now you are able to do mods or improvements very easily on every other watch without waiting for the watch to go to a modder and wait again to take it back.
I have to start myself something like this....
Good job and the watch is a looker!:thumbsup:
