I’m not a dev, but this is my version of building something unexpected and cool.
Started with a Casio Duro.
Removed the dial so all branding is gone.
Added a 33mm blank dial from another skeletonized watch since it had a large center opening (originally to see an automatic movement) that would work to expose the entire date wheel and tiny holes that line up with 1,2,4,5,7,8,10,11.
The current date is whatever is at 3 o’clock.
Replaced the hands.
Replaced the chapter ring.
I like having it ever-so-slightly off center.
Put the caseback back on.
Voila. Now i have the quartz equivalent of a skeletonized watch. No branding, no apps, no connectivity, no wifi, just the time and date.
Screwdown crown, 200m water resistant, unidirectional 120-click bezel, stainless steel case, 22mm lugs.
As soon as i find someone to cut some metal dials for me I’m gonna make more random watches like this.
They’ll be 150k sats. DM me if you work with metal.
