I’m not very familiar with MODs, but I decided to buy this because I really loved the classic design and the size.
I hope it becomes more popular in Japan as well!
alot of hands on the market are very poor quality finishing and lume, Lucius Atelier's are always a cut above! If you want to build something with factory or better than factory quality these are the hands for you!
this rotor and the others from Lucius Atelier are always tip notch finishing, and very easy to install. Great price too compared to other vendors. honestly all the parts I've gotten and the customer service from here are top teir.
I absolutely love titanium and was looking for a sport/classy watch to round out of the titanium divers I have. This case came out to be 10.3mm thick and super easy to work with. The case work, polishing, and brushing is excellent and the bracelet is a dream! Articulation at the integrated case goes backward under so it works for smaller wrists. I was concerned about the 36mm but honestly on my 7.25” inch wears more like a 39mm. I hope they bring out more titanium thin cases like this in the future. Maybe a titanium yacht style diver. I would also love a few meteorite dial options. Lume is top notch as I am also a lume junky with the dive watches. Hits all the boxes for the premium price you get the ultra premium feel. Couldn’t find a sharp edge anywhere to note and had quite a few on a more expensive watch the week before.
Hi Ed,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and thoughtful review — I truly appreciate it. You did a fantastic job with the build, and it’s wonderful to hear how well the case and bracelet wear on your wrist. Your description of the articulation and finishing really made my day.
Just a small note on the thickness: if everything is fully assembled and the caseback is tightened all the way down, the Seiko-Dweller 36mm should measure right around 10.0mm. I’ve attached a photo of one of my fully assembled SD36 builds measuring 9.994mm for reference:

That said, a fraction of a millimeter can vary depending on assembly and measurement method, so nothing to worry about at all.
I’m especially glad to hear the lume, finishing, and titanium feel hit the mark for you — that’s exactly what this case was designed to deliver. And your ideas for future titanium thin cases and meteorite dials are noted 😉
Thanks again for the support and for sharing your experience with the community. Truly appreciated.
Best regards,
Adriel
The dial is stunning! The way the light hits it and makes it shine is incredible. Shipping was fast and with no issues. Highly recommend!
Exactly as advertised, beautiful mother of pearl and the crystals sparkle very nicely. I built this one as a Christmas present for my wife, and I know she'll love it. Don't forget to get the adhesive dots for mounting the dial.
This dial is beautiful, it looks astonishing when the light shines on it and the pearl effect becomes visible.
Case is nicely slim and has a great size at 36mm diameter. The integrated bracelet works well with the lug-to-lug to deliver a pleasant view on the wrist.
Beautiful finishing - paired with the “1908” dial it makes for an elegant look. Highly recommend for a dressy watch.
Perfect compliment to the Great Oak dial. Arrived to me (US) in 3 days. The personalized hand written note is a classy touch.
This is, as always, of superior quality. Highly recommended
I received the order exactly the way was in the website, the quality of the new titanium case and bracelet are amazing
Sehr gutes Produkt! Wurde sehr gut verpackt!
Es wurde sehr gut verpackt und ist schnell angekommen. Die Qualität ist fantastisch!
This case is all I dreamed it would be when I placed my order. Incredibly light on wrist and comfortable. 36mm I feel is the perfect size for case like this, visually it appears larger on the wrist and is in what I would consider the “Goldilocks Zone”. I paired it with the LA Great Oak Dial and Baton Hands V2. Personally I wish the dial didn’t say Swiss Made at the 6 since I’m using a Japanese movement in the watch, but it is hardly noticeable when glancing at the watch to tell the time. The 7mm crown is solid when manipulating and the crown tube is buttery smooth when **** it down.only things I would change would be circular brushing on the case-back and the inclusion of 2 half links. Very happy with my purchase and will continue to buy from Lucius Atelier in the future!
couldn't be happier with this case, super lightweight and solid, and the integrated bracelet feels buttery smooth.
This case is a beautiful created wonder piece. Its lightness is amazing. I have read nothing but positive statements about the Lucius Atelier brand, this case does not disappoint. Cant wait for my completed build.
I matched this case with a real turqoise dial and it is everything I ever dreamed of, when thinking about my dream watch.
It is looking amazing and it is feeling so featherlight on my wrist, I won't even feel if it goes missing.
The case feels very high quality and there is really nothing negative to say about it!
The hands are excellent. Communication and follow-up from Adriel has been fantastic. I highly recommend Lucius Atelier for all your watch mod needs!
I have zero idea how I worked with my budget tweezers this long before finally upgrading to these Vetus® High Precision Tweezer with Carbon Fibre Tips! The immediate differences in quality hit hard in your hand—the feeling of quality of the materials & the fit and finish! No more scratched hands and dials for this fellow!
I have zero hesitation or mental reservation in sharing publicly the highest praise for this product and this eBay Seller! First struck by the heft of this product—it is solid, high-quality fit & finish, adorned with the Lucious Atelier logo branding. The best part, it fits perfectly in the 4-hand presser for a rock solid base to work.
I cannot speak highly enough of Adriel & the level of care in the protective packaging of all components for a rocket-speed processing & shipment to the USA! This dial was particularly intriguing to me for the lume factor. The finish is indeed brilliantly buffed to shiny perfection—sadly I created several annoying surface scratches, which hurt my pride & annoys my OCD…but I love the lume more!
