Do self build watches get the love in here?

This is my second build, I wanted a more relaxed every day watch with good readability as my eyesight is starting to go. I also fancied a bronze case and will let the patina form naturally. Any scratches, marks or dings will, I think, add character.

Inside is a Seiko nh36 to give me some options later if decide I need day/date.

Thought I'd made a mistake with the white hands but now really like them. It's nothing special or expensive but it meets my needs perfectly.

Can’t go wrong with the bronze on a leather strap!
