Sourced everything off Amazon, built it last night. I had trouble setting the second hand, so I chose not to fight with it lol. I didn't realize that the dial has blue lume while everything else is green lume, but I honestly like the different colors. I think i may change the hands since they don't really match the dial, but I'll give it a few days before making a decision on that. Another thing im gonna end up doing is swapping the date wheel with one thats got blue lume to match the rest of the indices. All in all I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, especially with no prior experience at all.

It's much heavier than I had thought it would be, but it feels so good on the wrist.

Unfortunately the hands are bent, missing the crystal, and she's not currently running. I know it's from 1901, hunter style case from 1901 by Fahys and it should be 10k gold plate over brass, and I'm hoping that all it needs is a service

Trying to figure out how to get to the movement, that way I can get some more info on it. Anyone here know how?

Belonged to my late granddad, I plan on only wearing it on special occasions

It's the Cross WMA08. It's got an offset dial which really pops after hydromodding it, almost gives off the vibes of a driving watch 😁

Automatic Fossil Privateer, aftermarket bracelet and original leather strap, all for $20. Did I get a good deal on it?

I just picked it up for about $12, sleek yet sporty. It's a quartz movement unfortunately, but I think the potential is amazing honestly. I love the brushed stainless look, but i think it would really pop if it was polished to a mirror finish. What do you guys think?

I've been trying with the idea of adding some blue lume to the hour and minute hands (to match the bluing from the factory), what do y'all think?

She became obsessed with the little hammerhead in my watch, so when I found this titan I knew i found the right enclosure for it 😊

I know I'm gonna get some hate for this, but I honestly used an old baby oil bottle that my mom was gonna trash. A happy accident from doing so was that the hammerhead was set free and apparently there was some moisture still in the movement when I did the mod (happy accident is that its appears like any gunk build-up gets picked up 😁). It's been keeping time quite well and I absolutely love how it feels on the wrist.

I picked it up at the local trade days for $10 as is, its got some life in it but I can't tell if the hands are working properly. It's a Lucerne antimagnetic with a mechanical movement, but the fact that it doesn't have a seconds hand throws me off big time, any info?

I already have the black Invicta 0076, but i don't like all black and would love to swap faces/whole movement over from one of the other variants, but I'm not sure which would look better after a swap. My question is: which do you guys think would look better, silver face with black case and vice versa, or gold face with black case and vice versa? Thanks in advance for any and all input 😊

The only difficult part for me was aligning the crown stem, other than that I had no problems 😊

The gold one is a 48376 and the silver one is a 48723.

Im wanting to know if anyone else has done the same and if the complications aren't slowed down or not. I love the look of hydromodded watches, but before I take the plunge myself i figured I'd ask the community first
