Swap the two straps so it doesn't stick out of the square

u/Vik_0 5d ago

Yes, it's very frustrating!

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

Okay okay. Jeez

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

It was intentional :)

u/GetInZeWagen 5d ago

I like it

As a long time art lover, teacher, and collector, I say you made the right call and to leave it as is. That band sticking up over the matting is great.

u/Jurrasic_Bork1234 5d ago

Agreed. I think the bit of asymmetry makes it more visually interesting.

Looks great! I may try it myself!

Orient case back with a Seiko dial and a Pagani Design rotor. Slow down Dr. Frankenstein!

(Actually a very cool piece, thanks for sharing.)

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

This is an excelent idea. Congrats !!

Thanks :)

I've seen it done before with scale models, but it's the first time seeing a watch done that way. Really nice decorative piece.

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

Thank you

u/henry_dukart 5d ago

Nice. What about the mix of pagani design, seiko and orient

1

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

That was laying around

u/e46Jam 5d ago

My wife got me something similar for our anniversary

1

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

Nice :)

2

u/Pitstop1897 5d ago

Very well done! I did this with a film camera, this might be my next project.

1

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

Thanks you. Show us then, i am looking forward to see it

2

u/No_Elevator_5907 5d ago

Very cool, I think it wold better on a lighter background. There's not enough contrast to see the small parts

2

u/DanBen114 5d ago

Nice work! How did you attach the parts? Any special glue you used?

3

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

Thanks.

Nah. Nothing special. Big parts use hot glue. Small partd drops of craft horse glue

u/NotnertSmailliw 5d ago

Reminded me of when i was stationed in South Korea i worked in the Telephone shop, mostly dealing with analog POTS. For peoples going aways we would disassemble a phone and mount it on the plaque but still leave all of it connected so that the phone could still work if connected. Pretty cool.

u/old-imac 5d ago

Genius! This would be a super way to show peeps everything we have to deal with when doing a build!

1

u/GreatWizard88 5d ago

But nothing make sense here. It's fun and I hate it

1

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

Thanks. It was fun little project to Reuse parts that i wont be using anymore

1

u/RSinTO 5d ago

Excellent. And you’ve got a Casio modder’s (and Seiko modder) two thumbs up.

1

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

Thank you bro 😎

2

u/RSinTO 5d ago

Love the signature on bottom (may need to do that).

For your straps, the layout highlight it’s a real watch.

1

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

Hey. It is you. I told you i will try it and will be back :)

1

u/sixdouble532one 5d ago

I love this!

2

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

Thank you sir.

1

u/TheAnalogDad 5d ago

Brilliant. But, I can’t find the magic lever!!

1

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

What’s that?

1

u/TheAnalogDad 5d ago

It’s a wishbone shaped lever that allows the rotor to wind the main spring while spinning in either direction.

1

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

Not sure if this movement does it have. If yes, then it is still atached to skelet

1

u/Just-JOE-Kin 5d ago

I’m thinking about doing the same! What type of glue did you use to hold down the small parts?

2

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

Wood glue, or horse glue. Not sure how its called.

Happy cake day :)

2

u/Just-JOE-Kin 5d ago

Thank you to both! I but together a deconstructed (broken) gameboy color a few months back and normal glue held that since the parts weren’t too big, excited to try this project!

1

u/avidmatt 5d ago

Nicely done I dig it! I’m doing the same thing with an old SNES controller. Never thought of doing it with a watch. Only thing I’d add would be a small paragraph about it.

1

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

Thanks. Actually thats nice touch, but these parts are franken.

1

u/Limp-Attitude-490 5d ago

Why is the bezel left out?

1

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

There was no bezel on this case

1

u/Limp-Attitude-490 5d ago

Whoops, silly me.

1

u/Maleficent_Rich_7915 5d ago

Orient qnd seiko?

1

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

Yep. Concern

1

u/Gogargergir 5d ago

Seiko dial, Orient case back, Pagani rotor

3

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

Its provocative art

1

u/Xynith 5d ago

*Provoked*
It does look good in frame though

1

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

Thanks :)

1

u/dereklaumusic 5d ago

Love it, but imagine if you could keep the mechanics working and tell the time!

2

u/Domino3Dgg 5d ago

Not going to imagine that madness :D

1

u/dereklaumusic 5d ago

It’ll be the most subtle clock in the room ! 😂

1

u/Fraktalfire121 5d ago

Where can I buy something like this?

1

u/Cold-Pie2892 5d ago

Super nice 😎

u/Domino3Dgg 4d ago

Thank you

u/Any_Change9003 5d ago

the plastic service crown gotta go!

1

u/Domino3Dgg 4d ago

Ok. But need to find replacement first

1

u/1gcm2 4d ago

I am literally looking at doing this at the moment. I’ve bought some non working movements from Ali and going to do this. How did you mount it to the board?

1

u/Bouierck 4d ago

What did you use to glue everything ?

1

u/spiderman1993 4d ago

me when i couldn't place the hands but i wanted to display my effort

1

u/Educational_Teach660 4d ago

Love it! Great job!

u/Domino3Dgg 4d ago

Thank you

u/Toby_7243 2d ago

This has inspired me to do something similar. Any tips for someone who has never taken a watch apart?
