Do self build watches get the love in here?

This is my second build, I wanted a more relaxed every day watch with good readability as my eyesight is starting to go. I also fancied a bronze case and will let the patina form naturally. Any scratches, marks or dings will, I think, add character.

Inside is a Seiko nh36 to give me some options later if decide I need day/date.

Thought I’d made a mistake with the white hands but now really like them. It’s nothing special or expensive but it meets my needs perfectly.

Looks very nice. Do you know which alloy of bronze? Where did you get the case?
