    Nice one! For a wedding a couplke weeks ago I designed my own 3D printed watch. My approach was slightly different: I bought a cheap watch, took the movement, arms and glass and designed a new case around it, incluiding 3D printed dial and wristband with integrated clasp. Just go to your nearby dollar store, get a watch with the same crystal size and off you go. I think this makes it easier accessible for anybody. I contempleted on making a video of it but I don't think I will so if you are interested in the files I could share them (openly)?

Read every AX message (5 coins). Every delivery gets you 5 coins. Do a review with pics. 20 coins. It all adds up. I was seeing 75% off sale price deals with coins! It's worth it.

I modded a 38mm 5KX by transplanting the movement, dial, and hands into a SKX013 dive case, thereby gaining a screw down crown, 200m of WR, and a SKX013 bezel insert with lume pip. Came out great. I essentially transformed a Seiko diver-style watch into a true diver.
