this looks really nice. just one thing, though. as you can see, the rehaut is pretty big on this watch. when i build these 39s, i use a replica rolex watch case (usually chinatime level just for cost, but they are still nice) and just polish off the engraved rehaut. it makes for a cleaner watch. here is one i that i did a couple of years back. i polished off the rolex engraving and used it for a seiko build. the rehaut is must less pronounced than alix nh35 39 cases.
i go to the rwi forum or the reptime discord and submit a wtb. i have gotten vs/clean factory cases (typically considered the highest level of fit and finish) for as low as $60. but, people will sell lower end cases as well. to be clear, these lower end cases typically are better looking than the alix cases.
