One of the first watches I ever tried to build. Just a basic stock Silix case set. A Rafflestime dial, hands, and a gen swiss 2879. It was pretty good for a newbie modder wannabe.



I was never satisfied as all the gens looked like this:

So I finally decided to see what I could do. I relumed the dial, aged the hands and relumed, and replaced the plexi with a SK high dome. But the insert baffled me. I finally took it off the watch and carefully removed the white paint underneath with a manicurist qtip and some acetone. Repainted it with some watercolors and sealed the back side with lacquer. Matte sprayed the dial, and most importantly the shiny plastic insert. I think its much better now.
