Couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. Ordered another set for gifting. Seigeiha dial is beautiful, and fit perfectly with this titanium case. Wish this also came with a sapphire back so I can show off decorated rotors
The photos don’t really do the dial or the hands justice, they look so nice in the sunlight.
Ordered these hands to go along with a dial I made, beautiful match! Hands are absolutely beautiful and worth it! Highly recommend
Absolutely awesome quality, looks even better in person. I would have loved the dial to have lume where it is white, but not sure how possible that would be. The dial is amazingly crafted. Will try and post picture of the build once complete.
Overwhelmed by the quality and finishing of this case and bracelet. Beautiful colour to the titanium
I have not got around to install them yet but I'm happy with the purchase.
Always lighting fast shipping. Every dial I've bought (three, so far) have exceeded my expectations. This time it was no different.
It’s a good rotor selection and bridges, however, I’d like to see more options. Available in rotors. More designs, more colors, and custom laser engraving onto some of the rotors would be the cherry.
Sell a case without the crystal and then all the recommended by you 3rd party replacements do not fit with the provided gaskets. So I either find thicker gaskets or a larger crystal? I am doing both but it adds to the expense.
I chose this crown to pair with the GS Diver case – I like the contrast between the utilitarian knurling and the elegant case. Very happy with the end result!
Adriel is incredibly friendly, quick with delivery, and has the best pricing around. All of these combined make her my go-to person for Seiko movements. I've done multiple NH35 builds of different styles, and they've all turned out great. I've even been able to regulate the movements to +/- 5 seconds per day - close to chronometer certification level.
I am not sure what is going on with this -I can't seem to figure it out or get the right parts to finish it. No front crystal and standard crystals recommend by you do not fit. I am ordering a thicker gasket now. The standard nh movement will not fit from the front of the case but using a standard 28.5 dial will fit from the back but then you need the chapter ring which was not mentioned. I am about to just not bother building a watch with this case.
This is a really delightful compact case! I love the subtle crown guards and the drilled lugs – I think it's a great mix of diver qualities while being classy and a bit sporty. It feels a little chunky, but I think that's down to the short lug-to-lug distance. I think it has nice wrist presence despite being small – and there's a good mix of finishes that dress it up without being too flashy. The quality is of the construction and finishing is very good and the price feels very justified for what you get. My previous watch build was in a case I found on an eBay shop and it was serviceable, but this one is a big step up in quality.
I also want to mention how impressed I am with the customer service. I emailed with a question about fitting the movement and Adriel responded very quickly with friendly, helpful information. It was such a pleasant experience. Shipping was also extremely fast.
I highly recommend this case – especially if you have a smaller wrist, like me – and Lucius Atelier in general. I'm looking forward to shopping with them again soon.
All arrived safe, well, and quickly. Quicker than other suppliers by far.
I was having a difficult time finding chapter rings with 24 hour notations in 28.5 mm diameter. After a Google search I found Lucius Atelier, who had exactly what I needed. The part was shipped quickly and arrived faster than I had expected. The ring is top-notch quality and I am more than pleased.
I like how these hands pop visually against a green "alpinist" inspired dial, and the line is solid. The bright red is very satisfying, and extremely legible (which makes them a joy to read the time from). This was my first watch build ever, and I plan on doing another one for my wife for Christmas. Maybe I'll use these hands (or similar) again!
ordered on saturday, recieved on the following monday, could not be happier to install this on my "forever work in progress SRPE" really brings its build quality up a notch.
it's so thin! because how thin it is, the touch of colour is very subtle
As usual, Adriel was super quick with delivery of my NH35 movement orders and the pricing is unbeatable. While there are very many good NH35 clones that are a little less expensive, I like knowing that I am getting a genuine Seiko here for only a few dollars more. Still my go-to movement supplier.
Excellent quality, really fast shipping and great customer service. Thank you!
My wife and I are very pleased with her first custom watch -- and also our first watch assembled by LA staff. GS-style 36mm case & sapphire crystal, MOP diver dial, pilot hand set, NH38 movement. A range of straps takes it from sporty to elegant.
