Custom watch

Background/Motivation

I quite like fossil watches. I don't like their prices. Let's make one from Ali Express parts and assemble it.

Inspiration watch here. See images named inspo_*

So, this sums to:

• I'd like a face that shows the gears.
• A self winding watch would be great.
• I prefer a round watch case.
• I prefer a leather strap.
