Here's a very affordable BRASS cased watch I picked up in eBay. From a company called Rugged Maine, the movement is nothing special but this brass case opens up some real 2nd Cool possibilities that I will show and discuss.

Aged Brass Watch U Can DO: Rugged Maine

I prefer quartz. Got a Pagani Speedmaster homage for $100 on Amazon. Literally hasn't lost a second in over two months. Was at a Nissan dealership and the sales manager was wearing a legit Omega Speedmaster. He saw mine and thought is was real. We compared them side by side and he was blown away by how close the craftsmanship was. Ironically, the Pagani probably keeps better time.

I like the auto movt solely because I don't like having to source batteries :p. I can deal with the time not being super duper precise, I just adjust it every couple weeks. Swings and round abouts I guess. Dig the aged brass look! My younger self which was a bit more hipster-ish than I am now would have been all over that.

Not a watch guy, don't wear one. I do wear a belt watch or carry a pocket watch. Would like to see a WRV on one of those.

The hands mod was a definite improvement. It seems to bring out the contrasting colors of the dial more.

I've been thinking about building a completely custom watch myself, and a raw copper case would be high on the list. This was a fun preview to scratching that itch

I came across these when looking for an orange dial watch. They sparked my interest but I never pulled the trigger. Love the enthusiasm for the mods. Thanks for sharing Nutn!

Sounds like a fun project. Good luck! I’ve been thinking of making a custom dress watch with one of those “stardust” dials.

Nutn, feel free to show us the process of your watch programming/ modding in the videos. Wink wink.

Addiesdive makes inexpensive bronze autos from China. Worth every penny for a bronze diver or pilots/field watch.

The aged watch looks unique!
