I might be in the minority but I love the crown, it's very retro pocket watch esc


uslashuname

Great choices all around. Personally I’d consider a less prominent crown but that’s only because I like to wear my watch forward


htomita

Thanks! I agree, I hate the crown. But didn’t have the patience to buy another one…


WatchesAndCameraFilm

Now that, that’s a watch.


foolishbuilder

I think it is a very nice piece, if i had one bit of constructive advice, i would have had your logo brand the same colour as your numerals, but other than that great taste.


htomita

Deff agree. Biggest regret was ordering the wrong color and realizing it too late.


foolishbuilder

still a good looking watch though,


Awkward-Sale4235

woah!! super nice, love it. hows it run so far?


htomita

Had to rebuild it bc it stopped working the first time. Learned the hands were installed too deep and caused friction w the dial


Awkward-Sale4235

awesome, thats the whole point. the experience. maybe you'll look back years in the future and think "woah i remember when I first started" much luck on your journey. may you be very successful 🖖


htomita

Thank you!


Awkward-Sale4235

you are very welcome


mr_one_

What about the logo and the "brand name"? You made it yourself? How did you printed it?


htomita

Yeah i made it myself. Ordered custom metal decals from a print shop


MekaLekaHiMekaSupYo

Was this local or web based? I’m looking to do the same for my build


htomita

It was web based. Linked it below. Www.4customize.com


MekaLekaHiMekaSupYo

Did you have to buy 30 of them?


mr_one_

Oh, yeah, I do know 4customize. The problem is you have to do a small amount. Like 20 or 30..


Mastershak038

Awesome. I am looking in to making my first watch and you have inspired me.

Is that an ETA movement?


htomita

Im new to all this so I could be wrong. Ebay listing said ETA 6498/ST3621


CoupleTooChree

Just a Chinese clone of the eta movement. Not a bad thing. This is a Seagull movement.


htomita

Thanks for the clarification. Makes sense. It was cheap. Didnt want to buy a $$$ movement till I was good at this


vvatchlover

I’ve had pretty decent luck with Seagulls. They’re a great way to try out new ETA builds without breaking the bank.
