I have always wanted to build a watch myself. Well now I can.
As soon as I saw the DIY Watch Club kits I knew I wanted to check them out. They come with everything required to build your watch – and I mean everything – obviously all the watch components, but also a plethora of tools to put it all together. They also have created some arty, easy to follow instruction videos to help us along the way. And at the end of it all, the watch doesn’t look that bad at all!
But, is it a case of spending a fair amount of money on the process only, and the final product is poor quality that you won’t actually wear?
Let’s check it out.

Great review Josh, I am very tempted but import duties could be a deal breaker.
