Wassup, I wanted to also share my first project, I know it's nothing crazy but I'm curious to hear your thoughts I went all in and bought VK63 watch case in steel with convex glass. Of course the watch is a replica with a sunon pe50 movement, based on 1965 Omega x Moonswatch Speedmaster look.

I paired it with thicker, more elegant yet a bit sporty strap. Personally, I think it looks very classy and It's definitely staying on the wrist for now. The project isn't done yet and here's what's done and what's planned:

- Omega branded crown (6.5mm which I think looks a bit better than the stock one that came with the watch case (check first picture)

- New strap is installed, but I'm planning to order a decent quality bracelet for it soon. It's very hard to find a branded one cheap so I'll probably go for a generic simple speedmaster with solid links.

- Maybe I'll find some better hands but they are quite uncommon on aliexpress.

- The original caseback broke (Eyes on the stars) so I'll probably make a custom Lockheed Martin Skunk Works / Top Gun logo

- Disable the right dial completely so it resembles the original MoonSwatch more faithfully.

What do you guys think? Any protips ? I finally like that timepiece because it has some weight to it and feels like a proper watch now . Best wrist beater "replica". It's cheap, reliable and battery operated. The movement is widely available and can be bought for pennies. Easy to maintain and very beginner friendly. Let me know if you have any questions ! Cheers ! (If your're from Poland and need any help, hit me up !)

Siema, Chciałem się pochwalić moim ostatnim projektem. Zamiast plastikowego (bioceramicznego) "gen", poszedłem w pełny custom i wrzuciłem tarczę z repliki wraz z mechanizmem (wersja Mission to the Moon / 1965) do nowej koperty ze stali nierdzewnej 316L.

Zegarek siedzi teraz na mechanizmie Sunon PE50. Dorzuciłem też grubszy, jakościowy pasek z porządną sprzączką, na którym również wygląda całkiem całkiem w porówaniu do tego "fabrycznego"

W planach mam jeszcze mały mod: chcę całkowicie odłączyć/zablokować wskazówkę na prawej sub-tarczy (odliczanie 1/10 sekundy), żeby nie zdradzała od razu budżetowego werku i mniej rzucała się w oczy.

Jak oceniacie taki efekt? Dla mnie w końcu ten zegarek ma odpowiednią wagę na nadgarstku i wygląda jak prawdziwy męski zegarek a nie zabawka z plastiku.

Pozdro !
