This project is a little different and new for me. I made a Damascus steel dial for a custom watch build, and I’m really happy with how it turned out! The Damascus steel is made from K720 and 15N20, and the movement is an NH38. All the watch parts were sourced from AliExpress, and the total cost came in at under €80, which is crazy cheap considering how much I love this little vintage-style watch.

Hope you enjoy this one!

The laser I used it's the xTool F1 Ultra:
