Very happy day lol, even my wife said it is nice and want to wear it

 

[crapman]

Yes that's me
You were the one who donated the dial?


Can't see much as Mr goh was working from his workbench but looks complicated

Haha yeah thats me.. Was looking at everyone that went down to do mod. Hoping to spot some forumers lol



Anyway Mr. Goh have 1 blue sunburst dial. If anyone wants to mod 53 can go straight down to get it

 

[crapman]

sharkapl kor kor, did u get to see the whole mod process? Must b quite interesting ya??

Did see abit of the process. The caseback and crown must be taken out to expose the whole movement. Than its matter of placing the dial onto the movement.

I bought the wrong dial too. So he cut off one of the legs and applied glue.

Hello all, I've been lurking around for quite sometime and have been deeply poison.

I would like some suggestion for my first automatic watch. My budget is ard $700 or less. I kinda like the Orient Star retrograde but i'm weighing my options to see if there are any other options.

I have a small wrist size, about 6". So would prefer something 40mm and below. Sporty or dress watches are fine with me too.

Thanks for your input guys!

something different

Do share you photos when you get yours at the end of the year. I'm interested but didn't want to spend it on another technology watch.
