independent watch projects

Getat Watch Company is an e-store run by a watchmaker who specialized in custom watches and parts inspired by military timepieces of the Pact_of_Steel countries, namingly German and Italian.

Unlike most eBay sellers, Getat Watch ensures that all dials are coated with Swiss luminous compounds. The cases are available in different sizes and with different surface finish. The movement catalog features affordable Chinese UNITAS clones.

Straps are hand-made, and there are several colours of thread to choose from.

The watchmaker behind Vintage Watch Parts is specialized in fitting vintage movements into new cases, but he also does restoration on all watch components: movements, cases, dials, hands, crowns… you name it.

The website is also intended as a resource for handy men and Panerai afficionati who are not afraid to compromise the manufacturer’s warranty of their expensive Italian watch… okay, actually Panerai watches are Swiss made and the tutorials rely on aftermarket parts.

The Website features tutorials by various authors addressed to aspiring watch modders and the main watchmaker shows some of the one-off projects he was commissioned with.

eWatchparts.com is specialized in aftermarket parts for brands like Breitling, Omega, Panerai, Rolex, Tudor and ETA movements. It can be a good starting point to source parts for doing a custom job on a watch.

After two and a half years of research and design the Tsunami is finally at the prototype stage. FullerWatch‘s goal was to create a dive watch with the classic looks of the Seiko 6309-7040, but with use of easily interchangeable Seiko parts from the 7s26 & 6r15 divers (SKX007 & SBDC001).
