I use a Sesame grinder to shape the base then polish it on a bench polisher.
I made some little arrows of what I try to do, but I've never gone all the way through with it. I get scared and probably stop too soon. Also the Noob case doesn't have enough material to make it a perfect replica.

I notice on the Noob watches alot of them the SEL doesn't sit correctly so I've been taking material off to correct it.
