Seiko Speedy Snoopy Mod
A nurse anesthesia resident at Fort Hood, Texas, on a study break. On the wrist, a Seiko Speedy Snoopy mod the submitter built. In the submitter's words: "The first set of hands I bent since they are so challenging to place. Finally got it." If you have a wrist shot from somewhere that matters, submit at the link in bio. Tempus Est Potentia.

The watch
The Snoopy dial traces back to Apollo 13. In 1970 NASA's astronauts gave Omega the Silver Snoopy Award, the agency's honor for contributions to crew safety, after a Speedmaster was used to time a critical engine burn on the flight home. Omega has since released Snoopy editions of the Speedmaster, and modders build their own versions of the layout: three subdials, a tachymeter bezel, and Snoopy on the dial.
A mod like this is assembled from parts: case, dial, movement and hands. The hands go on last, pressed onto thin posts at the center of the dial and lined up with each other at twelve. The speech bubble on this dial reads "Failure is not an option," a line from the 1995 film Apollo 13 that flight director Gene Kranz later used as the title of his memoir.
