Kasper,

Nice. I used to refer to the square boxy shaped LED model as my "poor man's Omega".

If you like slightly smaller watches, the Fairchild models are quite nice and a bit underrated. You used to be able to find these models for cheap. I still really like the faceted design, which was made in a variety of finishes. The only downer is that the modules are hard to replace. One of the segments went out on my faceted LED model so I don't wear it much any longer and I haven't run across a replacement.

Nice work Kasper

I left mine with a clear crystal it's OK but a little hard to read in bright sunlight, was it easy to fit the red crystal over the display?

excellent find Mick...it was impossible to put some glass in front of it...i took the picture and noticed afterwards that i could not do it
First i took other batt (0.5mm less thick) to have some more space in front but still i was not able to cut glass myself to put it in front. I was so angry and then it struck me..i had
some cheap 3d glasses that i never use from a magazine..both red..so i cut them and put 2 slices in front..and yesss perfection perfect color.

I came to the same conclusion:
