Came out awesome!The black day/date wheels were a good call.
I forgot to post this here, did another Sea Urchin build for my co-worker:
-DLW Cermamic 12-hr Bezel
-DLW White Mil-Spec Hr & Minute
-DLW Orange Mil-Spec Second
-Dagaz Polished Chapter Ring (which we brushed down)
-Gray/Orange Nato Strap
-Double Domed Blue AR Coated Sapphire Crystal
-"Custom" case brushing
-Orange rotor lettering

Overall I'm happy with the results. I had a hell of a time removing the bezel from this one and ended up putting some scratches in the upper-right lug and completely trashing my new $20 case knife. He wanted to brush the whole case down anyway so it sort of worked out in the end, but I need to figure out a more reliable method to remove bezels without fucking anything up.
Seiko sells a specific style of tool for their snapback watch cases that sort of looks like a mini log-splitter. There is a small wedge you can drive in with a screw. I think something like that would let me get the bezel starting to lift up without incurring any damage on the case, then when I actually have a groove to work in I can get it off the rest of the way with a traditional case knife.
