Hey guys, So I recently picked up a Timex E Line 1983 Automatic Reissue and this is the watch that is super close to my heart as my grandfather gave the original quartz version of it to my father back in his college days which got lost over the years.

However, I’d like to turn it into a one of it’s kind bespoke piece and give it to my father as a gift for his birthday in August (though he doesn’t wear watches much so I will also be wearing it from time and again lol).

I’m looking for someone (preferably in India, but international recommendations are welcome too) who can help me with the following modifications:

• Custom dial
• Lumed (radium-style) hands and hour markers
• New bracelet
• Exhibition/Open caseback so the movement is visible.
• Engravings

Has anyone here worked with a reliable watch modder or workshop that can handle this level of customization? I’d really appreciate recommendations based on personal experience.
Also, if you’ve had a similar project done, I’d love to see photos and hear about your experience.
Thanks!
