I think it turned out well for a first attempt.

Many thanks to Kp0y for the dial and his help, support, and suggestions for improvement.
Very nice work. Maybe I can make a +1 to ask for how you filled the letters Image. I allready tried chalk and the wax crayons with mixed results

I tried chalk … the first 3 or 4 attempts didn't yield very good results. But over time, I found the right mix.

However, there are various methods that can be found in HF and on the Internet.

Today I received the below parts from a friend of mine in order to assemble his watch.

The parts are from:

I know the strap has to be a 26mm but I don’t have any 26mm one that is suitable to this build at the moment.
