NMK-WK19 DIY Watchmaking Kit: "Billy Airfield" by BBmod
namoki x @bbmod_watches
Creator: Billy of BBMod_watches
Creator Notes: I selected these components with the aim of designing a watch that draws inspiration from classic field watches while embracing a modern style.
This watch prioritizes readability with a clean dial and durability with a 316L stainless steel case. A screw-down crown ensures water resistance up to 100 meters.
The 38mm diameter of this watch is suitable for most wrists, and its appearance can be completely transformed depending on the strap you choose.

Customer Reviews
This was my first watch build and I really enjoyed it. The videos on the website were very helpful and the parts were quality. I used the kit selector on the website.
I would say that I will use the site again in the future but, truth be told, I have already ordered more parts.
I love this kit !
Pretty simple to do
you need some patience for the second hand.
But when it's done, that's work very well !
This is a stunning piece. Loved the experience of assembling the watch and it sparkles on my wrist. Very happy with this purchase
Love the design and the color, everything looks perfect! Super love it ❤️
I received this kit today and look forward to building it one day next week. However, I am a bit sceptical as I never received any building instructions. This could have helped massively as this will be my first watch, which I am attempting to build.
