No Rolex, so what did you get?

Got myself a Runwell Shinola clock. Mounted on a block of American oak. Bought it from Tyson's VA.

Quite impressive. Looks more like a large wrist watch. Weighs a hefty 5.5 kgs. Seconds hand move in gentle automatic like sweep.

American built. Largely. Save a few imported parts.

Thank you guys.
Still it hasn't been enough to dampen that Rolex desire hahaha.

I went all the way to NJ, NYC, VA and NV just to hunt for a 116710BLNR and 126710BLRO.

Failed.

The hunt continues...

Cheers

All the way from NZ to the east coast of the US to find a steel Rolex? Wow!

Nice clock, but the movement is probably too small for the case.
