Really like it, holds watch well and the strap is out of the way. When new software is released guess I can use it as a clock too. Cable is also completely hidden.
Great job man! You almost nailed the spiegen and I assume it was either very cheap or free.
I've made a few out of wood but I don't have access to metal. Would love to try to build one though
.
Thanks ,i work at a machine shop so any materials is free for me so I just started fabricating one , I might make one out of stainless steel!!
Ok do we know where the watch/steering wheel pics originated? Some guy sat in his buddies Porsche and snapped a pic of his Sport Watch or what?

I don't know of any collective Porsche ownership groups. Hadn't thought of that though. Maybe I'll get together with some of my buddies and we'll all go in on a Porsche together.
Even tho Im not a big fan of gold watches. I tried to gold plated it myself and it turns out better than expected.
What do you guys thinks?
^^ I think it turned out pretty well. Looking at it quickly I thought it was the Edition! lol
can u please let me know where did you get adapter, I looking space grey for my sports watchBlack Edition ^_^
That sounds awesome! Please post some pictures when you get one made. Maybe making one like the nomad stand would be awesome
I really love how the SBSS/BSB combination turned out.
Here's some pics of my new 42mm Grey Sport from the retail store. The employees were impressed i got my reservation in. So was I to be honest.

The bag had grey straps on it. Very happy it wasn't pink.
Coming from a Pebble, this is a giant change. It feels soooooooo much better than the Pebble. Changing the straps was slightly confusing. You push and release, not push while releasing. and I am still am clueless over the force touch thing. It took me about 5 tries to get the watch face customization up haha. That's gonna take some time to get used to - but it is very intuitive

I've had mine for a week now, I've been pretty happy with it. It was shipped around the 10th, and arrived on the 16th in Germany, right in the beginning of the shipping window I was in. It was then reshipped (by mailboxde, who had a nice service in my opinion, and managed to safely ship quite a few Watch's to Portugal) and arrived to me in Portugal on the 17th
During the setup:
Already setup on my wrist:
Pictures seriously don't do it justice. It also looks huge on my wrist in pictures... I don't like the looks of my own Watch in pictures, but in person it fits and feels just right. It does look much smaller in person! I never liked big watches, and I do not consider the 42mm a big Watch. The 42mm was the way to go for me. I have small 165mm/credit card width wrists. I managed to take this picture, it does it more justice... I hope it helps anyone who still has a doubt choosing their own Watch
And to top everything off, I couldn't allow myself not posting the usual steering wheel picture. My epic ride is an epic match for my epic Watch
Corsa B, Yeah!!!
I'd like to thank everyone around this thread posting pictures of their watches early on. It was because of you all I chose a 42mm one, and I definitely don't regret it. I'd like to try a 38mm one just for the sake of curiosity, but I don't see myself doing such in Portugal for the next few months... Unfortunately we are a forgotten country in pretty much everything

Maybe a silly question here, but how did you get the day of the week and the calendar event to be blue? I'm in the modular watch face and can change the color of the time and other complications (to white, like yours), but I can't figure out how to get day of the week (Thu) and Calendar events (No More Events Today) to a color other than white.
