I started with a Thorn case and built the rest around it, including the dial and aged hands. I wanted to give it a more vintage, worn-in character, so I added some hand-aged effects to the dial, lume and hands.

It’s definitely not meant to look perfect — I actually like the little imperfections and uneven aging.

Pretty happy and enjoying the build process to get the whole combination came together. Just sharing the result with the community and would love to hear what you guys think.

Sharing a recent mod I put together.

It’s built around a bronze case that I oxidized and aged myself. Really like how the green oxidation and bits of verdigris came out

The dial is diy design and made, inspired by the vintage VDB look.

I also made the strap using Horween** **CXL leather, and gave it a bit of hand-aging to match the case.

Pretty happy with how the whole thing came together. The bronze patina, yellow dial and worn leather.
