I've knocked it before and brushed it against a wall a total of ~5 times and there is not a dent/scratch.

Not sure how to multi quote so I just reply here regarding storm trooper mod.

I buy watch and parts separately and went k2 to mod.

Merc hands $30, dome sapphire $65 and white ceramic bezel $50

K2 charge $30 for labour.

Haven got time to think of suitable strap. Any suggestions? May try a white perlon for a white horse prince look hahaha

this?

His chapter ring if u noticed is pure black which he achieve by sanding it away I believe.

Too drastic an act so I didn't touch it . Maybe when free can buy a spare Matt black chapter ring or even a white one just to spice things up.

DLW Damien stuff are quite nice but not cheap. Most worth it item I believe would be the hands.

This one doesn't have the minute marker on the charter ring to give the complete black face look.

Nice, I had a reverse color scheme of blue white blue hahah

Will a white black white be better?

white isofrane-style strap? if only to reflect the plastic/polymer material of storm trooper armour/costume. but are any even available?

[TeenTitan01]

and do they charge gst like bloody skywatches?

also, since they offer free international shipping, the least they can do for their fellow singaporeans is to give them a discount equivalent to shipping costs, no?
