Budget Royal Oak The original is the hottest pocket watch recently, and it is indeed a great fashion item, looking good with any outfit However, the limited edition being scalped for 15,000 yuan made me hesitate, so I made one to fulfill my wish, using a cheap movement to make it actually work The model has many separate parts mainly for easy color matching, and overall assembly is not difficult The watch movement is a "Civil Servant Exam Watch", which can be bought for under 5 yuan on Pinduoduo Upon receiving it, first open the back cover to easily put it into the model and for future battery replacement I've done a round of simulated color matching, recommending black/white watch faces, and using black/white for the watch frame and back cover to maximize color uniformity The hanging ring part can then be matched with any color, easily creating various fashion combinations

Print profile 1 is for the monochrome version, print profile 2 is for the two-color version, for easy color separation

Print profile 3 is for the non-split watch frame and multi-color back cover with logo, choose as needed

For PETG printing, adhesive spray is required, otherwise, it will likely fail!

• Required accessories:

  ① Take the Civil Servant Exam Watch with the back cover removed, install the fake pocket watch crown, then place it into the printed watch case
