Today after lunch my Ex Stacy and i did a little window shopping at a few watch shops. I was talking to one of the guys I know at one of the guys and she interrupted and asked why I don't build my own watches. I really could not give her a reason why I never tried it. Tonight when I got home I did a little searching for parts and figure WHY NOT! Dials, cases, movements are fairly cheap if you shop right. I do not see why I can not put one together with available parts. I think I will source out having the hands put on that is an issue for me. I have tried and failed numerous times even though I have the tools to do it. Has anyone on the group attempted building their own watch? I would appreciate any tips or sources besides Ebay for cases. I really would like to find a very different case than the usual dive case. I do not want to buy a kit I want to use the parts I pick. I would imagine I will do a simple three hand no date auto at first.
