After looking for a SKX031 for quite some time (I wanted a diver with a screw down crown at 3 o clock) I suddenly got an offer to buy two watches one evening!
The first watch arrived after a couple of days and I immediatley started to modify it!
The watch was meant to be a test for making bezels and watch dials using my router.
First try on making a bezel :
![]()
The bezel is made from anodized brushed black aluminum sheet 0.5mm thick - I made a dial in the same material.
![]()
I put a mixture of white paint and lume in the groves of the bezel and the watch dial.
![]()
Time to put things back together!
![]()
![]()
Done!
I only had a 20mm black strap on the shelf so it'll have to do until my new 22mm rubberstrap and oyster bracelet arrives!
![]()
As I had to work late, I managed to miss one line on the bezel when making it and also found the number "10" to be cramped by the lines surrounding it - had to make a new bezel!
Added some minor alternations and the routed a new bezel - painted and replaced the old one on the watch.

Not so "stealth" in the dark, but it will do!
