Per the post from ihfree located at: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/770703
I made a reply briefly commenting about being close to finishing my first watch 'build'…
This extra post of my own is to post some pictures of said watch and try to answer any questions you may have to the best of my ability.
Hands are a pain to place and need steady hands, the second hand being the worst.
The next hardest may be cutting the crown stem(the metal bar that connects the 'time adjusting thingy' on the outside of the watch) to the correct length :P

Lume Shot: https://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/102691/103675/lumeshot… This lume is not great though and disappears quickly. Hands are better than the dial.
Still have yet to permanently attach crown to stem with locktite adhesive….
Sorry for the word spaghetti!!! :P
P.S I'd like to think this whole post makes this obvious, but this is not a retail SEIKO watch, the only real Seiko parts are the licensed movement by Seiko Instruments. The dial is a after market part that I liked the look of….
nice work.
Slippery hobby slope though ;)
