I decided to buy the regulated movement and WOW is it accurate! I have been checking it with the online atomic clock and it is within 1-3 seconds (-) daily. That is peek performance from my point of view...
Love the contrast with the paired hands and cream dial.
This chapter ring only works if you are using GMT movement. If not, it is rather useless and it does not look well.
Another reason this chapter ring sucks, it will not sit flush on your dial if it has raised indicies. L.A. did not take into consideraron the proper dimensions for raised indicies. QC needs to step up!
Hi Damian,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our SKX013 Brushed Silver Chapter Ring – GMT 24H Numerals. We appreciate your feedback and would like to address your concerns.
As stated in both the product name and description, this chapter ring is specifically designed for GMT builds. For non-GMT builds, the 24H markings may not provide the intended function or appearance.
Our chapter rings are manufactured to fit standard Seiko 5 dials (and all our own dials), which follow consistent specifications. For non-standard dials—especially those with raised indices—it is important to review the product’s listed dimensions, including outer and inner diameters, to confirm compatibility. Measuring the applied indices diameter of your own dial before purchase will help ensure a proper fit.
Every chapter ring goes through strict quality control to meet its stated specifications. However, when sourcing parts from different suppliers, variations in dimensions can occur. This is why we always recommend due diligence and precise measurement—especially for experienced modders—to avoid compatibility issues.
We hope this clarifies the intended use and specifications of the product. Should you have any further questions or need guidance for your next build, our team is always here to help.
Best regards,
Adriel

The reason I purchased this holder because it has a 31mm base which fits the 4 position watch hand press tool. The movement holders that came with the tool do not hold a NH35 movement and the Aliexpress holders are too wide at the base.
Bought the 36mm seikonaut with the stardust dial and dauphine hands. Assembly was smooth, all parts came beautifully packaged, fit and finish is unreal. It wears like a 38-39, very glad i got this instead of the full size model. Its perfect for my 6.7" wrists.
Also bought the slim explorer case for another build to replace a cheap ebay one, that one also exceeded expectations.
Adriel, This pair matching brushed hands on the Biege Dial made a spectacular watch. The Dial was so perfect even under my 20X Lupe! Hats off to you for the fantastic quality parts!!!
Amazing birch style Dial, appeared much more white compared to others I have received that have ended up being more silver toned. Indicies are well polished and aligned perfectly. Probably the best aftermarket dial I have received!
This is such a wonderfully made NH35 holder that I am using with a 4 Position Watch Hand Setting machine - it fits perfectly and keeps the movement in a perfect spot. I take delight in wonderfully made items and this is so machined nicely that it delights me out of the box.
I ordered a regulated NH35 with a Rose Gold Bridge and Rotor. I could not be happier! It arrived quickly and is beautiful! I'll definitely be back for more!
Bought these hands as soon as I saw them, figuring they’d go well with my mod.
Delivery was fast, looked great out of the box - they are pure class. Bonus points for a hand written thank you note from Adriel.
The project went even less smoothly than anticipated, being my first attempt at anything like this - but I made it work in the end.
Used the hour and minute hands from the set. Great lume on these, would recommend!
Great bracelet quality, and fits the ultrathin explorer 36mm case perfectly. However, for an $80 bracelet it's a little disappointing that there's not a quick adjust feature when that's something I see on Ali bands that are half the price.
I love the look of these rotors, they really do improve the look of the back of the watch.
Great chapter ring, especially for watches without numbers or time markers.
This rotor really adds to the look of my srpe. Finally a reason for the clear case back!
These beautiful cases fitted perfectly the new Venturine and Sakura watches I built for my wife!
I’m very happy with the build. I feel like the real quality is from the service they offer and how they are willing to help. When I open the package and I see something hand written. It just made the order feel that much more special.
Very happy with the result. Thanks Adriel for them personalized advice to make the build work.
This is the 2nd complete Tiffany dial Seikonaut I purchased from Lucius Atelier. Adriel is responsive (as always) and I received the watch more quickly than anticipated. Excellent quality.
Super pretty dial that really shines in the light and looks like a really pretty night sky! Perfect addition to any watch build!
First watch case I ordered. Looks good and quality also seems excellent.
5 star
The dial is great and the applied markers look amazing. However this isn’t a white dial despite looking that way in photos and named Arctic White
This is a silver dial. Perhaps a hint of white accents.
Still nice but be aware
Both the case and the bracelet feel very nice but the clasp is very squeaky which makes it sound very cheap
