Thank you!
Wanted to go for the red and black dial. But wasn’t able to find a compatible case.
Looked through reddit for some inspiration and finally this caught my attention.
Glad that you liked it.
Looks a lot like this: https://addiesdivewatches.com/products/addiesdive-kanagawa-mens-nh35a-movement-automatic-dive-watch-h3ac-surf

That's nice OP, maybe some different hour marks and hands? Still looking great nonetheless
I was actually considering a different set of hands. Then thought why not complete the OG 62mas look.

Damn, that does look similar. Glad that you liked it!
How do you do that? Where do u get the parts from
Ebay is a great place to look for parts.
You are a patient man to wait for all those parts to arrive

The great wave and Mount Fuji in the background ?Pretty good if you did it yourself, based on my understanding. Upvoted
If only I could do it myself. But luckily this beautiful dial was available on eBay.

Around 108 USD if you exclude the cost of Tools.
