Crowe......I love this....tell me more about it!!!!
Ken as you may recall Gary and I toyed with the idea of a custom build over at OWS. Of course Gary and I were more interested in a swiss movement build than a Oriental build so the idea didn't really fit in on OWS :P
I built four of these from off the shelf parts at Ofrei, they cost about $150.00 in materials at the time (it would still be pretty close to that now)plus I had to assemble them. They are a simple 35.2mm classic military homage with a 2824, sapphire, and screwdown crown and caseback. I am pretty sure that Bill Yao's mil spec style dials will fit this case which would give you some lume on the dial but the swiss font on these is pretty cool.
The Omega hands were just a one off idea I had but they can also be bought off the shelf from Ofrei.
PM me ken I'll send one of them your way for a Christmas present :P
