Really nice. Do you test it for water resistance?

Thanks. And no, haven't tested it but it should be somewhat water resistant with screw down crown and rear gasket. Good for beach but not diving.

Absolute beauty. I personally would opt in for a GMT style bezel for better readability/usability. But it is a beauty regardless and every mod is tastefully done.

Yes, I agree, a 24H bezel would add a lot more functionality but I really built this one around that matte silver/chrome Yacht master look, the GMT was added because I got a NH34 on sale.

Planning a skx build now with 24H bezel and either a NH34 or 35/36.
