Thank you!
Here's a rough breakdown on costs:
Date/Command case/bracelet/clasp was from retroleds (pm him for a price). Or eBay if you can snag one for cheap.
Lucky Brand watch that sacrificed it's module $59.99US
Plexiglass samples I got from ridoutplastics.com $8.99US
Reed switches from a dead Pulsar module - Free.
It only takes a couple of hours to grind the corners and solder in the reed switches. The trick is finding the right distance from the button to activate the reed. Creating the blue filter probably took 3 hours total from routering the shape to beveling/polishing the edges.
None of those prices include shipping. The hardest part now is to find a cheap watch containing that module. The Lucky Brand watch is now out of stock @ overstock.com, and I just bought one blue and one red on eBay out of pure luck. I've seen the blue Bench version, but only available in the UK, and the red DKNY on eBay for about $109US. If you're doing the red version you don't need the plexiglass, just use the original Pulsar crystal.
If you're not familiar with the module, it's OLED, dual alarm, 12/24 time, 2nd time zone, day, month, year. If it had a stopwatch, it'd be perfect.

Curious to know how much it cost to produce and how difficult it was to do!
