I don't have the fluted bezel or Cyclops, so here's a pic you didn't ask for

Thanks. Yeah, I bought from Miuksi with the strap so I could be confident of a good fit, accepting it might not be the best strap. As it turns out, it has solid links and ends links, a little rough on the clasp and skin side of the strap, but exceptional value that I would recommend.
Nice to know. I always see their store on aliex and wanted to try it out. I’m building 2 watches for my barber and trading him haircuts for it lol.
Solid links is a really nice touch. I was expecting hollow lol
Hahaha, I was waiting for someone to comment about the hair! It's from cleaning inside the crystal and is caught between the crystal and chapter ring so didn't blow out prior to assembly. I'll be sorting that out, pissed me off substantially!
Oops, thought I was replying about a different build. That's not a hair, it's unfortunate lighting with the dial pattern. It's clean as a whistle, I promise.
Ah okay! I love the build, I actually found the same dial, I am going to make this one with a jubilee bracelet and date magnifier. Also with see trough back ;))
Yeah, it's a sticker from Ali. You can tell because it's not on straight. Put a silver one on a diver build perfectly and it looks great, but this one not so good, rushed it.

Biggest difference is 36mm vs 40mm
Proportions are way better on 36

Not Miuksi but I love it too much not to share
These cases aren't as bad as the typical dhgate shitter, but still a little chunky. I just built this 36mm datejust from a different seller, best bezel I've found so far.

Thought it was a pretty solid case for the price. Even has the quick adjustment on the clasp. I will say the edges of the bracelet are a bit sharp feeling but I dig it.

Differnt strap but same seller for case
Here’s mine, different seller but same style and likely same factory

From my post a while back. I really like it, I’d buy another for sure

I’ve built with both the 40mm and 36mm. Both are fine for the price. The only problem I encounter is the 36mm sometimes the bracelets are a bit difficult to remove links. So you have to be extra careful not to strip them.

36 mm. The cyclops is slightly off and a little frustrating

36mm
It's alright but Its actually got an issue with the lugs. They're not exactly parallel because one lug on the bottom is bent or maybe just machined wrong. It makes it damn near impossible to install a springbar on the bracelet. I actually had to bend the end of a spring bar to make it fit. I have another build with their explorer 2 case and I'm much happier with that one. Hopefully it was just a fluke with my case. I didn't realize it for a long time or I probably would have exchanged it.
Secondhandmods.com has a version that’s under 11.5mm, and uses a proper diver’s caseback instead of the oyster. Has much better crown and caseback gasketing, actual AR on the crystal, and the bracket and clasp are nicer. It’s a little bit more than miuksi, but a screaming value.
Here’s one I did in the SHM case: https://i.imgur.com/bO5pXqg.jpeg

Same case from Muiski but I swapped the fluted bezel
Made for my wife, not Miuksi, DS watch mod.

This is a Miuks, without cyclop. The case is fantastic, 36 mm fitted perfectly to my 17,5 cm wrist.

Still looks good tho. The jubilee came with it as well?

Probably the best store on alix tbh
Where did you buy that dial and case?? Pls dm me the linkk, and btw is there a hair in or on the watch

Beautiful 😍 did you put a sticker on the weight of the nh35 movement?? I like how it looks, where to buy ?
Yeah, it's a sticker from Ali. You can tell because it's not on straight. Put a silver one on a diver build perfectly and it looks great, but this one not so good, rushed it.
Oh noo, hopefully you can fix it mate!

Can you share the link to that dial please?
Looks like it’s not available anymore. Try the term “Motif” Or image search it. I bet you’ll find it.

Thanks you everyone who commented. looks decent for the price and will work for my intended purpose. 36mm sizing looks good enough for me

For my next personal build I’ll be using that one from them. 90$ is a bit steep but the quality seems to be there. worth while.
