Here's the movement of a watch that I customized. It's really not very good but I knew what I could and couldn't do and stuck with a simple plan. The customization was accomplished with a number of files, dremel tool, an assortment of sandpapers and an electroplating set-up. The dial was designed by me and made in Germany. The superluminova on the dial (all the numbers) make it glow very bright in the dark. Enjoy. Comments, critiques and compliments all welcome.

Frank,

I really like it very much. It is both simple and elegant. Some things don't call for lots of frills. I can't make out what is says in the seconds register, limited and what is the other word? Another very fine example of hand work Frank.
