It's been quite a journey. Almost a year of experimentation. It started from this:


Then to this:


And now, here she is. I gave up on the luming and requested my daughter to do it for me, he he. Don't know if it's an improvement. Thoughts, gentlemen?

These are the two dial (color) variants of my first own custom watch line of only 14 units along with the box it gets shipped out in. Every watch runs on a gen 17jewels cal.0231 HMT manual wind movement fully serviced. It is the very first of its kind in India and I am really happy I could make this. The watch measures at 37.5mm including the crown. Has a domed plexi and thickness of 10mm. This was made to honor the Indian Army.

The dial is domed and was inspired by the Rolex bubbleback with a california dial. The black variant has no second hands (on my own unit) and the white variant comes with a "on request" Red second hand or a more common silver hand. The box shown is the box of unit #01 which has a gold case.

Shown below is the actual unit #01 gold cased watch along with its box. The watch has a specially treated white dial with gold hands and red second hands complimented with a wine reddish brown leather strap with a (stamped?) croc pattern. This is the watch I gifted my father to honor him and for the fact that he is my dad!!

Do let me know on what you all think. It really helps me figure out how to get going on making new watches for everyone based on their inputs and likings [emoji5]
