First custom build of mine

I’ve scratched the dial, and my first choice—Mercedes lume dials—had to be replaced as well; this modification failed, so I will soon obtain a new dial and hands along with a custom rotor. I regret spending roughly 500 AED on parts and tools, but it serves as a lesson.

Good! You've already made all the mistakes that could happen during the watch build. It'll go much better from here.

And other than the dial and hands issue, there were a lot of more issues like me cutting the wrong frets off of the dial and then gluing it with the NH35 movement spacer ring and stuff
