whoischich 1 Posted January 31 These are fantastic looking mods. Is the process the same if using a gen moonswatch or are the parts different? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inspired by that I thought I'd have a go at one of these over the Christmas break so I collected the donor, case, stems and movement holder for DH and Ali, I'm into it for around 60 bucks Australian, nothing to loose if I fuck it up. I was pretty deflated when the doner Moonswatch arrived, what a hateful piece of shit that was, however no more than 15 mins later the transformation was truly amazing. This thing is honestly one of my favourite watches now. Nice build! Where did you get that dope watch strap from? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

whoischich 1 Posted February 13 Thanks for that - will need to think about whether it's worth it or not. Perhaps with a Mission to Earthrise or similar, could be a good look. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GulfGT40 3,185 Posted February 16 Very cool @McPikie and I seeing a bit of Seiko Pogue in that one? Threw together a couple more myself. Case and band from a shitty old Snoopy rep And an old two tone case I had, not the right dial colour for Saturn, oh well two wins from three on cheap gate watches is within tolerance. I quite like the colour combination though, probably more than if it had been right. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Put a hair (or a very tiny wire) in the hole before squeezing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With crisp white dial, silver case, and that black nylon strap just ties it all together perfectly. It’s got that retro NASA energy with a fresh twist. Super wearable, full of character and definitely a head-turner. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
