On the more obscure side I like to fiddle with wrist watches by adding aftermarket parts and modifying their overall look.

Could you elaborate a bit? Or post some pictures of mods you made?

    Yeah so an example of throwing on aftermarket parts:

    Start with your base watch, I picked up a cheap Invicta dive watch like so https://files.catbox.moe/bnxgcp.jpg

    Slap on some aftermarket hands, bezel, faced, and sand the bracelet for a nice brushed finish. https://files.catbox.moe/mo52xw.jpg

    This is a watch restoration I was attempting. Did a poor job but learned quite a bit. https://files.catbox.moe/9bv3pa.jpg https://files.catbox.moe/2kwaka.jpg
