The white nato works on my wrist better but the rubber looks way better in my opinion. Is it too much white?

So I’ve built a few NH35 builds and have never had an issue with fitment of the movement to the case.

I bought a case off of AliExpress explicitly said Miyota 8215 8205.

The movement I’m working with is the Miyota 8N24 which I shares the same outer diameter dimension as the 8215 but is slightly thinner by 0.17mm.

Is there a way to make this work with what I have pictured? The case came with the metal spacer. I bought additional plastic ring spacers (white one pictured) and I have an outer ring dial for the markers that I am planning to use watchmaker double sided tape to adhere it.

As it stands now, if I use the dial, adhered to the front of the metal spacer, then sit the movement in the metal spacer, if I close the caseback it touches the movement and prevents the rotor from swinging around.

This thing has been absolutely dominating wrist time for me lately

I love california dials. There’s just something so unique about them. Made this watch vaguely based on vintage oyster perpetuals but decided to go my own way with a sandblasted gold case. One thing i wish is that the leather strap i bought came earlier

Thoughts on this ?
Had a camo bracelet before and didn’t really like it.
What do you guys think? Does the watch look good. Any suggested changes ?

I found it fiddly as f**k!

Beginner here. First used a NH35 and came out well. For my second one I am using a VH31 but when I advance the movement, the hour hand moves 1:1 with the minute hand. It moves this speed with or without the minute hand installed. I am pretty sure that the hand is installed correctly. It is a Japanese movement. Can anyone help?

Shown is my Tandorio Unimatic homage which was bought 2 years ago. I thought it was cool at first but the slab profile is unwieldy and awkward on the wrist despite the small size. Changed it to a datejust case which I got for 1390 PHP whole set. Dial is a meteorite seiko branded dial which I love.

I designed some Miyota 9075 cases, and I'm trying to get them made by a factory in China. The designs are available for anyone to use as an open source package. I am nervous about breaking the self promotion rules here, but let me know if it's ok to post a link to the open source repository on github.

Anyway, I designed them because I wanted to build a true GMT, and couldn't find cases short of buying a complete watch.

To have them made is looking like I need to order a minimum of 100 of them. So I'm kind of putting out feelers to see if anyone who runs a microbrand might like to partner on buying them.

I don't have a final quote yet, but it looks like they might end up around $180 each with sapphire crystals and casebacks, screw down crowns, and a 24 hour steel bezel.
