Changed the stock crystal to Domi's ARd crystal on my bud's hybrid- which I built and polished ;)

Here's a before shot with the factory crystal at its best (which was not bad, but nothing like now):

Damn, emdeevee, I am more curious about the guy to the left of the diver. Is that an alcantara on it? They are both gorgeous pieces. All these forged are making me drool at the wait of the bumblebee even more..

That watch is a mashup that was built, serviced, AR'd, etc. by Goin, one of the famous modders located in Asia. It's built on a Black Themes case and a Chronopassion bezel and dial, but with red subdial and chrono hands. The red hands gave me the idea of finding a GP band, and an OEM one came up for sale so I snagged it. Not sure if there's any alcantara in there, but the stripes might be while the rest is leather. I love the combo.

Ah ok makes sense. It's absolutely gorgeous. But the red on it made me think it might be an oem Alcantara. Either way you got yourself some nice pieces there
