MoT's Watch Deal Forum Watches

[Dub Rubb]

Soo awesome! I love the camaraderie this place has unexpectedly achieved. So cool to see something like this come to fruition an a mere 8 months

I totally forgot to post my very own MoT over here. The dial is done really well and as [mention]split-time[/mention] said, the pics don't do it justice. Keep up the good work and thank you [mention]sporkboy[/mention]!

Has it only been 8 months? I guess that's right. It seems like this place has been around a lot longer than that. I guess that's a testament to the people that are a part of this community. Hopefully I can get more MoT watches kicking about the world soon.

Thank you to MoT, Stretch44 and Split-Time for your kind words regarding the work that I have done on this project. It is humbling to get this feedback, and I am glad that I waited to this point to get these watches out into the world vs. rushing to have something I wasn't proud to share.

Note: I became confused with all of the watches going out and mixed up Stretch44 and Split-Time. Sorry everyone. Split-Time is my hero, though everyone else is pretty good too.

A very special thanks to Stretch44 Split-Time as he has provided funding for some more of my experiments in luming. Thanks to him, I have some masking tape and clear waterslide decals on the way. This was completely unexpected, and it really made me feel good inside.Thank you Stretch44 Split-Time.

Here is a nice picture of the full dial lume watch, sine the picture should probably be on this thread.

I did take that dial out and tried one of the 32.5mm dials. Sadly, I didn't account for the internal bezel and you can just barely make out the tic marks. Live and learn.

Stretch44 [mention]Split-Time[/mention]...that is above and beyond. The members here never cease to amaze me. SO proud to be a part of this community.

Edited to fix names.

Big apologies to everyone. I have fixed the post above. I ended up crediting Stretch44 for the patronage when it should have been Split-Time. I do greatly appreciate everyone that has shown interest in this watch though and appreciate your understanding of my mistake.

No biggie . I will be wearing the watch all day tomorrow. Admittedly I was preoccupied with my new Christopher Ward bracelet today, but tomorrow it’s all SporkBoy’s MoT watch. That’s the kind of company you are in . One of these days my wife might come in from the mailbox with a SporkBoy Watch magazine and ask, “you haven’t ordered a watch from them, have you?” CW owners know what I mean by that.

Keep up the great work but don’t get in a hurry. I really appreciate what you said about waiting to get things right before you sent the first watches out.

I am honored for anyone to be wearing something I made. I definitely won’t be sending out any magazines, that would be strange. Postcards maybe, but no magazines.

I am definitely not rushing anything as I like to do a good job and not be stressed about it. That is why I would make a terrible entrepreneur. I like to make things, but don’t want to ruin hobbies that I love by making them about money.

Thanks to @Split-Time, I have some clear water slide decal sheets along with some upgrades masking tape! Thank you Split-Time!

[Split-Time]

I didn't do much but I am very happy that it helps!

Today I noticed something new about the MoT watch. I have some lights above my desk at work that can make the area where I sit light up like a jewelry store. Normally I keep them turned down because this is not a good feature to have in a workspace if you have a watch problem . Anyway, SporkBoy's dial has always looked perfectly smooth in pictures and in person. In the light however it appears to have a bit of texture. This may be a function of the decal, but nonetheless it is interesting and I continue to be impressed with the work that has gone into designing and assembling this watch!

When the decal is heated, to cure it, the decal gets tight and interacts with the primer in such a way as to create this subtle texture. It kind of happens magically and is cool to see.

Playing with the clear decals, and they are quite nice. I won’t have these done today, but I should be able to test on Monday. I will also do a full lume dial comparison.

[MoT]

I'm really liking the black dial with the lume!

Sadly in person the black isn’t quite opaque, so it isn’t perfect. I will try running a sheet through the printer twice to see if that lines up well enough to be an improvement.
