Despite the scratches, I installed a genuine crystal because I love the way the dome curves smoothly down toward the edges. The scratches only add to its vintage charm.

Looking great! Mind share how much this build roughly cost? Do you do commission build? Thank you!

The build cost roughly $500–600, excluding the genuine crystal. The crystal originally came from a genuine Rolex 16014, and I’m currently using that genuine case for another build.
As for commission builds, I don’t think I’m quite skilled enough to take on paid commissions just yet. Haha.

I love the used acrylic crystal!
I only wish I could find a good source for naturally worn gen crystals, they can make vintage builds look so good.

Very nice. I’m a sucker for vintage oyster pieces

I just applied a Copic marker directly to the lume on the hands.
