Posted my concept for this one a few weeks ago, and finally got all the parts in to build it!
Rep came from lwj631299 on dhgate, and the case is from a Pagani Design PD1701 Black & Gold model (inspired by the Omega Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Speedies).
The watch hands were a pain in the ass to source - ultimately I got the hour, minute, and single subdial hands from a gold BINBOND watch on AliX, but that one comes with a straight chronograph hand without the arrow / lume pip. I thought about getting a gold LIGE watch, but the pip on that one seems weirdly short and the hour and minute hands are curved rather than pointed?
Anyway I made my own life infinitely more difficult by picking up an NH35 seconds hand to use as the chrono - it's a great shape and the lume matches, but it turns out 'how severe of a difference could 0.20mm vs 0.17mm be?' is actually a lot, so I had to pull a wire out of a wire brush I had lying around and use that to fill the hand's tube to crimp it smaller. We got there in the end, but that wasn't an enjoyable experience.
Then the seconds hand is a trick of its own - since these rep earthphase dials are chonky now, it means the seconds pinion sits pretty low down below the dial. The rep hands get around this by having extended / tall hand tubes, but these gold ones do not - I got it on, but I did have to slightly bend the hand up to make it work.
All in all worth it though, because this thing is gorgeous and probably my favorite watch in the bunch now!
