I'm excited to try this hobby! I could never decide on a premade watch, so I figure I'll just make my own!

How does this look so far? Am I missing anything? Should I order the movement from a particular seller?

Hey folks. I'm interested in watchmaking and I'm a total beginner. Figured I'd pick a good movement and go from there!

I'm looking for something very inexpensive, since this will be a first attempt:

Preferably Quartz (willing to go higher budget for better accuracy)
Chronograph
31 day ring for the date.
Bonus points: Solar

An inexpensive automatic that would look very nice in a skeleton watch. OR OR one that could be skeletonized.

Then the rest'll be fun! I was thinking of machining a custom case and such while I learn the assembly process.

But I have to start by picking a movement, so any help would be much appreciated!
