Black/Red SKX Mod
Black/Red SKX Mod
Skx case with NH35 movement. This one was inspired by a guy on the internet who built a "SKX089", you can do your research to find his, but it was a smaller one at 39mm; I liked the larger 42mm, so I got an SKX case, and the rest of the metal parts, chapter ring, hands and crown online. I wasn't able to get the right size bezel insert. I wanted flat, with the narrower font, red 12 o'clock triangle. The closest I got was one without the red, so I masked it off and spray painted it. It took several tries to get it right.
The dial is completely custom. I sanded it down and re-used the date window bezel, sprayed the dial with a black textured paint, painstakingly added the markers, and text.
