Awesome watch

I’m not a watch guy but I wear a watch everyday. I order an Explorer assembly with case, movement, dial, and hands.
The finish is flawless. It look great and strong. It’s a little expensive but totally worth the price. I just hope the NH movement will last a long time.
Thanks!!!

The only case to be considered

The 36mm Explorer case has been a staple in the modding community for a few years and I can say that I’ve tried them all, from ebay to trusted supplier. Let me say that this particular gem from Lucius Atelier is second to none of them in terms of fit, finish and quality. The added bonus of the interchangeable chapter ring gives you room to truly make a unique timepiece. The tolerances are near perfect, giving a smooth action to the scew down crown and caseback. The higher quality stainless steel makes it more resistant to scratches. There is really nothing bad I can say about this case. Truly the only case te be considered for a high quality build.

My new favorite EDC

I've been looking for an explorer style watch case and this one in particular stood out. So far it's quickly turned into my new favorite edc watch! Perfect size and the case is beautifully finished. I decided to have the watch assembled along with the explorer dial from Lucius Atelier and I have to say I'm very happy. Shipping was lightning fast as well! I'm definitely gonna have to come back for that thin explorer case for a future build, very glad I decided to go with Lucius Atelier for my first custom build!

Great case & bracelet

I've been really impressed with the quality of this case, but especially with the bracelet and the fit between the two. My next case will be coming from LA because of how great this one has been

Good case, great customer service

I used this case for a 1950s explorer homage, nh38 movement, old lume hands, explorer 36mm v3 case because the old 50s watches were typically in 36mm cases. Solid product, case looks great. This is my 5th mod I have purchased and built on this website. Fast delivery and as always awesome customer support. I will be buying more parts in the future.

Excellent Quality

I researched many different explorer style cases (with bracelets) before buying this one. It truly exceeds my expectations in terms of looks and build quality. The overall finishing of the case and bracelet is beautifully done. The bracelet is comfortable and I was able to size it down to fit my 14.9cm wrist.

I chose the “build your own watch” option with watch assembly. I had many questions before I felt ready to order and Adriel was quick to respond as we emailed back and forth. He gave very helpful and insightful answers which I appreciated a lot! Made the buying experience that much better knowing he actually cared.

Oh and lastly, the shipping was so fast, especially considering I was having the watch assembled!
