First build after months of planning

The long awaited parts finally arrived and successfully assembled the watch without any major hassle, Installing the seconds hand was a struggle, had to stop recording cause it took forever Getting the stem length right was complete luck 🤞

The movement initially was accurate but had a high beat error of 1.7ms, regulated it to about 0.2ms and ±2 s/day, which I feel is fine.

Absolutely loving the case, provided it was just $30, the pvd coated finishing is super good.

Although I love the Aventurine dial, was skeptical about it thickness at 0.8mm, which gave little place for the hands(you can see the hour hand hitting the hour markers) and puts tension on the stem, but at last its done and I have no regrets

Pretty sure some are gonna argue about the seiko logo, but hey, I would rather have it than having it sterile.

The sapphire crystal doesn't come with AR coating, which along with the nature of the dial, makes it hard to take photos that justify it's real look. But I think I would rather not have AR coating since it can get scratched.

Lemme attach more pics on comments
