[WTS] Rose Gold Nautilus / Ming Style Seiko Mod - PRICE REDUCED - $150 shipped
I'll probably never be able to afford a Nautilus, so this was my creative attempt at one. I understand this isn't going to be everyone's taste, but I'm slimming down the collection again and this just doesn't get enough wrist time anymore. * Rose gold case is 38mm, 44mm lug to lug, 11.8mm thick (\~$80) * Screw down crown * Seiko NH38 movement ($30) * KomoWorks Sumi-E paper dial ($100) * Namoki Tron hands ($36) * Gold rotor cap Total parts costs comes to about $230. The case and bracelet is HEAVY and it feels very premium. One thing you'll see in a lot of Chinese nautilus style cases is that the crystal is not round, but more angular. This is generally considered bad for water resistance because crystal gaskets are round. This one doesn't have that problem. The dial is literally made out of paper and its beautiful. The halo around the open heart matches and goes very well with the lumed skeleton hands. Stunner in the dark. A few things to note to be transparent: * Like mentioned before, the dial is a form of paper. When I took it out of the case once, a tiny piece of it lifted off the dial at 12 o'clock. I have painted it and it is a very good match. It's not noticeable unless you shine light directly at the spot and look for it. * The crown stem is fractions of a mm too short, and I mean a FRACTION. Every once in a while when you press in the crown, it doesn't go into position 0. But all you have to do is push it in a tad bit harder and it goes in. This doesn't happen all the time, very sporadic. There's some scratches on the sides of the case and on the clasp as well as light surface scratches on the polished parts.
