Was hoping for a few ideas on the title problem. I picked up an older Seiko AGS (kinetic) for cheap that was in need of some love from a popular auction site, and it has an interesting problem with the minute hand (among some other issues that should be fixable).

It almost looks like a factory error when it was (presumably) stamped. Excuse me if I don't know all the right terms, but the "cylinder" formed around the hole as the metal is rolled down a bit is not…

I have been building "Seiko mods" of late with AliExpress sourced parts. (Successfully, lol)

Stupidly, I got a dumb idea in my head to build a watch based on a VK67 mechaquartz….but unfortunately there are no dials available. Let's make one, "how hard can it be?", lol

I'm an engineer by trade and have a nice home workshop/machine shop…but it's not exactly tailored to making small stuff.

I've spent the last few weeks messing about with my CNC router and came up with this…

Help me finished my half baked dial?
