These hands really added the perfect finishing touch to my build. Couldn't be happier!

The ultra thin size was perfect for showing off my chosen dial and not interfering with the second hand. Very pleased!

This is a beautiful crown! I'm building a Skx013 for my girlfriend and it adds just the right touch. Very satisfied. My only problem is that the included stem was slightly bent but fortunately I had a spare.

Crystal looks great!

bezel insert is high quality

SKX013 Mil-Sub turned out beautiful, excellent quality bezel

I used this with a polished UTE chapter ring, mother of pearl dial, and VH31 movement to build a watch for my wife. Looks beautiful and she loves it and how light weight it is.
Doing it again with the VH31, I'd use a regular thickness chapter ring and sanded down the movement spacer on the back side a little. It would have positioned the crown stem just slightly better with the case.

This bracelet was a pretty big letdown. The links themselves are robust and generally well-finished, but there is a sharpness to the underside of the interior links that doesn't feel particularly good, and the whole thing rattles more than I expected Given those factors, and the price, I would grade the bracelet itself a B-Minus. The clasp on the other hand, is bulky in appearance and feels awful. The edges feel sharp and cheap, like a scratchy polyester school uniform. The friction set is mushy and un-reassuring. Clasp rates a solid F. Finally, and this isn't a quality issue, but I wish Lucius Atelier would come out with 20-16mm taper bracelets, esp given the trend back towards smaller watch sizes. The 20-18 taper is pretty bulky on the 36mm cases. I'm a huge fan of Adriel's products, and recommend them all the time, but this is the first one that didn't feel up to the quality standards I expect from LA.

This was the second watch of a set I had Adriel put together as an anniversary gift for my wife and I. Both watches had identical turquoise crystal dials, polished Grand Seiko dauphine hands, and polished ultra-thin chapter rings. The only difference was that one would be the Explorer Ultra Thin and the other would be this GS ultra thin case. I wasn't sure which watch would end up with whom but upon arrival, it was clear. The Explorer case for her, the Grand Seiko for me. The box crystal and lack of bezel give this wath way more of a vintage look and feel. The edges are crisp, and the polishing excellent. My only wish would be for 3 o-clock crown placement. The 4 o-clock crowns creams "Seiko 5" (or SKX derivatives) to me, which is the antithesis of this watch's aesthetic. From a quality perspective, this is 5 stars all the way, however, the looks are let down a bit by the crown.

I bought this case and had it built up by Lucius Atelier as part of an anniversary set for my wife. I wanted the thinnest, most elegant version of the Explorer case I could find, and this case fit the bill. Finish and polishing are excellent. The titanium is noticeably lighter. Combined with the turquoise crystal dial, ultra thin polished chapter ring, and Grand Seiko hands, the end result is elegant and versatile.

I chose the 34mm UTE and the snowflake dial as my first build for my fiance as a travel gift. I couldnt be happier with the quality and fit of the parts, the packaging, and the communication. She has a 6" wrist for reference in the pictures.

Forstner Klip bracelet and a quick release grey leather. UTE polished chapter ring, lume GS style hands with blue second hand, NH38 movement, and 7mm diamond crown. Adriel was great helping me select parts when I had questions. Took my time and was very careful with the minute markers.

I am rather surprised this has not been sold out already! I had a customer wanting a dial swap on his watch, and he provided me with this. I was stunned even though this is a rather quiet design. All details were just right: great surface finishing, pretty shadows and most importantly extra bright lume.
I have not bought this one myself, but i have worked with it and based on that i would highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to be able to read the time in the dark. 6/5

I have been tailoring NH-based watches now for a while and i have used numerous sellers while doing so. I have found Lucius Atelier to be the most reliable in terms of quality, finishing and service and getting a package from them is always a Joy!
About this case:
Absolutely stunning polishing. I made a watch for my parents using this rather unisex size and they loved it. The top hat crystal is a nice finishing touch elevating the looks of any watch built with this. Only slight downside, or property the crystal has, is that it kind of hides any (slim) chapter ring rather effectively, which is good to have in mind if you wanted to make a GMT out of this. However the crystal is so pretty i really don´t care whether i see the chapter ring or not.
The blued hands also bought from Lucius are drop dead gorgeous. I would like to see similarly blued, shiny chapter ring in the future.
All in all i like these guys and their products. Highly recommended!

Here you can see a video of the watch i built using this case:

I wasn't sure how this would look when I ordered it, but once I got it and put my watch together I knew this was a great crystal. I have it on the 36mm case and it fits great. The bezel looks good with this crystal too. The crystal is not too high the height is perfect.

I wasn't sure how the slim crown would fit when I ordered it, but once I put it on I knew I made the right decision. This is a 36mm case, 37mm with the bezel and this slim crown fit it very well.

The bezel has the best edges for the coin edge. It costs a few dollars more than the other coin edge, but it is well worth it. I would give this 6 stars if I could.

This bracelet is very good quality. I have it on my 36mm size case and with the bezel it is the perfect 37mm. I have the double domed blue AR crystal and together with this bracelet they are a great match.

I love this 36mm size case and with the bezel it is the perfect 37mm. The height of the case is also great. I have the double domed blue AR crystal and together with this case they are a great match. The slim coin edge crown on this has good proportions.

very good case highly recommended

My order was shipped promptly and arrived very safely packaged. Installation was super easy. Wiggling the unnecessary feet a few times with some needle nose pliers and they popped off cleanly. No filing or cleanup necessary!

The dial itself is gorgeous; pictures really can't do it justice. The only problem is that I've gotten in trouble a few times for checking the time too much while in conversation. Fortunately, once they took a look themselves they were also captivated!

Love this style watch hands,

And Sorry for I didn’t take the

picture😝

Fast shipping , good communication,dial is so beautiful .
Perfect 👍

Rotar was installed incorrectly unfortunately, however was a super easy fix! Great company and team over all.

Movement failed after 1 week, have had to since replace the item, I don’t think this is the fault of the seller, because the rest of the order was remarkable as well as their service.

Great quality product and shipping was awesome!
