So I think there are some watch modders who might be interested in the UFO Miyota 9039 cases (and hands).
I'm selling this as a set as I think selling either the case or hands would make it sound too expensive, and there are not so many hand sets for the Miyota 9039, so I am selling these together. So at this moment this is at the prototype production stage. If you are interested in buying either one, I think that could be done when I would mass produce these, but I have no idea when that would be.
- The UFO -
The case having a kind of chapter ring, but with lumed lines on each 5 minute places.
The bezel also has the radial lines, and one pip that can be used in many ways.
The lugs are kind of hidden, and made to look like... landing gears of a UFO?
And I would imagine this case would attract a lot of dusts, and so as the so called "wrist-cheese". But this is what I call a necessary sacrifice to achieve this aesthetics. It's just... I wanted you to know that it's a design decision, instead of something that I didn't think about when designing it.

1-Year Manufacturing Defects Warranty
I have been wearing one of the functioning prototypes for almost 6 months. So far, it's functioned with no problems, and I am confident that it would for at least the next 6 months.
The reason I made sure that it's specifically 1-Year warranty for "Manufacturing Defects" is that I believe that most of the people who have never utilized the warranty of a product don't realize that the warranty only covers Manufacturing Defects. Some watch brands offer a longer warranty, such as 5 years or 10 years—but by then, how would you know that your broken watch suffered a manufacturing defect, or normal wear-and-tear? And would you ever be able to convince the brand's customer service that it was indeed a manufacturing defect?
Their warranty doesn't cover wear-and-tear, or user error, and neither does this warranty. But I do think it is important to clarify that it is a warrant for manufacturing defects, instead of just issuing that it is a vaguely worded "warranty" which sounds like something that might cover something more than manufacturing defects. And 1 year is enough time to warrant manufacturing defects.
