Hand painted Siamese fighting fish - Betta 🐟 for a Duro

As promised here it is. My finished hand painted Siamese fighting fish (Betta) Casio Duro 🐟

I wanna thank all of you guys who commented on my making of post giving advice on the strap and modification.

I decided to go for a black bezel in combination with the black original rubber strap.

The dark combination makes the Better "glow" and stand out more. My kids told me the idea after my Octopus, Marlin and Turtle Duro ❀️I guess as always, they were right!

Let me hear your thoughts on this and swipe to left and right to get the detailed shots...others won't let you πŸ˜‰

My lastest hand paint Casio Duro dial 🐠

I wanted to share my latest Casio Duro hand painted dial i created. As some of you know, I already did a Marlin, Turtle and Octopus πŸ˜…

This time a beautiful fishy. I listened to my kids regarding colors and for me it looks pretty nice with the glossy deep dark dial.

I'm not sure if I put the original rubber strap on it or a bracelet. Let me hear your thoughts πŸ’­ πŸ™πŸ»

[hand painted dial on a Tissot Carson Moon phase]

I wanted to share many latest projects with a hand painted dial showing beautiful Hydrangea flowers πŸͺ»

This project I did as a commission tryout was challenging. Not because of the paint job, more in disassembling the watch. I wasn't able to take the movement and dial out from the back. I had to get it from the front, not even thinking about if it has a bezel or not πŸ˜…but I finally made it.

I love the watch and it's classic looks anyways so I was more than happy to realize this project.

Swipe through all the pictures and let me hear your thoughts 🫑

[Tissot Carson - hand painted]

Hi everyone,

Herewith I wanted to show you my latest project of a beautiful Tissot Carson Moon phase. This beauty wouldn't need any changes, but the owner decided for a beautiful design.

​

During The process I had to do research, because, I couldn't remove the movement from the back. I had to open it from the front (didn't even see the bezel πŸ˜…). Being super careful I could remove it to start my work πŸ˜‰

​

The design shows beautiful Hydrangea. The design was perfectly chosen by him πŸ™πŸ»it work perfectly with the looks of the watch ❀️

​

To state it very clear, this watch is NOT for sale!

Hand painted Casio - Japanese Crane

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my latest project of my hand painted Red- Crowned Crane πŸ”΄

The Casio MTP-1302PD-4AVEF comes with a nice looking red dial. When I bought the watch online it said pink, so I was kind of surprised when it arrived. Still liked the color and it reminded me immediately of the Hinomaru (circle of sun).

I choose to hand paint the Crane for this design because of the meaning behind it. It stands for luck, longevity and fidelity πŸ’ͺ🏻

Looking forward to hear your thoughts on my watch πŸ˜‰

[hand painted diver πŸ™]

My EichmΓΌller divers watch survived it's first test. After finding a greatde al for a used one, I decided to hand paint it as usual. Since it's about a year old, I recognized some shops on Etsy hopping on that design againπŸ˜… "making money". Blocking me on insta but check my content with a second profile 😁I just love it a this point. Keep going 😘

Love the octopus and I'm really surprised it's really that water resistant. The blue strap looks beautiful in my opinion, but for the office imma change it to the bracelet again.

5 more days on Cyprus to test it to the core πŸ˜…

Make sure you don't get an XXL octopus head all over your dial rather trust on the real ones who really do fine art and still let the dial and watch keep its original design. Zoom in, cause other won't allow you to.

Rocking the Chinese πŸ‰ for the weekend

One of my favs, the hand painted Chinese Dragon πŸ‰

This was my second VK63 build. Let's say it was an experience, but honestly, the size, the weight and the overall feel is just incredible.

I'll do more in future, that's for sure πŸ’ͺ🏻

Hand painted 🌸 cherry blossom pt.2

It's been a while πŸ˜‰he I share my latest cherry blossom 🌸 hand painted project.

As maybe some of you know, one of my commissions went viral and archived almost 1 Mio views and almost 10k upvotes.

I'm not mentioning this to bragg, more I want you to know that I feel grateful for this community. So, THANK YOU ALL!

Without the mods, I would've never started to hand paint dials. To honor the 1st I decided to do a black version.

As usual I used a NH35 this time in combination with a rectangular case and nylon strap. Let me hear your thoughts and zoom in, cause others won't let you πŸ˜‰β€οΈπŸ™πŸ»

[latest project] hand painted moons watch

Hi everybody, this is Dane.

As one of my recent project was kind of a success (Seiko cherry blossom watch) I wanted to share one of my hand painted moons watches. The 3d effect is not printed it is actually a real surface which was hand painted.

The idea behind it is, that I wanted to simulate a real moons surface and as I'm hand painting watches here it is πŸ˜…

It is actually white, because a grey, black, blue and red moon dial is already there. Let me hear your thoughts πŸ™πŸ»

The watch is run by an automatic movement with a vintage touch.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this and got granted a pocket watch I don't have any information about it. Id be very happy if there are information from you guys as the experts on here. Thank you in advance πŸ™πŸ»

u/daneceo β€” 2 months ago

Hello everyone✌🏻

My name is Dane, a huge fan of all kind of watches and I'm collecting them since I'm 10. As I do small repairs and paint watch dials I want to start my first pocket watch project. As I was repairing one of my CEOs watches, he granted me a very very old pocket watch with a lot of history behind it. The watch is in the usual used conditions, nothing very special. I will take care of the crystal, polishing and those ordinary things.

My question is, as one hand, If I remember right the minute hand, is missing, I wanted to ask for support on how I can find the right hands for this watch? My idea is to measure the outer diameter of the lart where the hand sits, but I guess you guys are the real experts to ask.

Help would be highly appreciated if this is the right place for it.

Thank you πŸ™πŸ»

Here it is, my finished hand painted Casio Duro. This time I used a turtle on this beauty 🐒

No acrylic paint was used, only high quality paint. I concentrate on details with this fine art piece.

In addition I swapped the crystal for a sapphire with red AR and the movement, cause somehow it was running well.

That watch will be another of the animal models next to the Marlin and I'm planning to create more.

Zoom in, cause other won't allow you to, taking picture from far away πŸ˜‰pure passion, no trend-hopping. Let me hear your thoughts ❀️
