Used my white dial Twelve 38 on bracelet and rubber as the starting point to reimagine what a two-register subdial chrono version would look like.
I must say - I’m pleasantly surprised by how good it could look.
If CW made one and managed to keep the overall case dimensions the same, pretty sure I would buy one!
What do we think?
Winter in the southern hemisphere - so a grey strapped Twelve 38 was an appropriate match for the dreary commute into work. Enjoy your summers up in the top part of the world!
Although I’m a child of the 80s, I was far too young during the golden era when mechanical dive watches were still used as primary dive instruments. So I wanted to recreate what those days might have looked like with my blue snowflake build.
Have a blessed Sunday y’all.
I wasn’t 100% happy with my first attempt at dial ageing, so took the watch apart again and worked up a second dial for it. Quite like the weathered and textured look coming through now, even though nobody will likely notice except for me!

My aunt saw the 9411 that I’d built recently and wanted me to build her one. I have to say her dial is turning out nicer than what was on mine, haha.
Lucky I ordered an extra, so I can swap a new one in while also continuing to practise my ageing techniques.
Dial from Raffles. Have a great weekend y’all!
The 15210 was never specced with a jubilee, but I was curious how it’ll look with one. Purchased one recently to give the watch a bit of variety in wearing experience.
Which one do you think looks nicer? Oyster or jubilee?
One for on road, one for off road. We love both 🙂
