Cybertrucks now in blue

I’m not a dev, but this is my version of building something unexpected and cool. Started with a Casio Duro. Removed the dial so all branding is gone. Added a 33mm blank dial from another skeletonized watch since it had a large center opening (originally to see an automatic movement) that would work to expose the entire date wheel and tiny holes that line up with 1,2,4,5,7,8,10,11. The current date is whatever is at 3 o’clock. Replaced the hands. Replaced the chapter ring. I like having it ever-so-slightly off center. Put the caseback back on. Voila. Now i have the quartz equivalent of a skeletonized watch. No branding, no apps, no connectivity, no wifi, just the time and date. Screwdown crown, 200m water resistant, unidirectional 120-click bezel, stainless steel case, 22mm lugs. As soon as i find someone to cut some metal dials for me I’m gonna make more random watches like this. They’ll be 150k sats. DM me if you work with metal. #watchstr #artstr #grownostr #plebchain

The difference between other social media and Nostr is this. Everywhere else, people brag about the places they live and the crap they have, leaving their viewers feeling envious because they don’t have as much fiat stuffs. Here, there’s people TRYING to sell their houses and other cool stuff they made, not bragging about it. #grownostr 🤙🤙🤙 View quoted note →

Dial engraved by hand, just to see what I could do with a carbide bit manually. Looks good in the light. Still on the lookout for someone to cut some blank 33mm dials for me, and I’m 100% certain there’s some folks on Nostr with the equipment to do it, just a matter of time! #watchstr #plebchain

I know someone here knows someone who can help. The engraver I was using sold his business and I wanted to reach out to the Nostr community to see if I can get this done and pay with sats. I’m looking to have a couple blank circles cut out to be used for watch dials that I can engrave by hand. The material has to be extremely thin, .5mm or less, and I have used .2mm thick aluminum previously. The aluminum usually comes in small sheets and is anodized or treated somehow with different colors. The details: 33mm outside diameter circle 2.2mm diameter hole in center for the watch hands. That’s it, couldn’t be easier. I can provide the vector and pdf file. Here’s a jpg of it. Web of Trust, it’s time to shine! #asknostr #watchstr #artstr
