Might not be to everyone's taste but as long as you like it then that's all that matters.
For me, I like it, but as the owner of a heavily engraved 216570 I can probably appreciate the personal touch this has more than others. Enjoy. |

Like a heavily inked, beautiful woman - not everyone will fall in love with it, but you've got to appreciate the artwork and skill that's gone into it.
Not for me, but the workmanship is amazing. The strap sets it off perfectly. On a factory bracelet, or pristine leather, it would look hideous IMHO. Last edited by mapalfa; 22 January 2016 at 09:10 PM.. Reason: Forgot something - duh |

Great work (who performed it?) and the strap is an excellent match

I really like it! I'd love to find a donor/beater to do that to.

I would love to have that in a collection, probably not as a one and only, but I certainly like it!
Congratulations on a fine and unique piece. Did you have the band engraved as well? |

And if you get tired of the look it will polish right out.
Thanks for sharing. Very unusual.

I really like it on the strap. The bracelet is a little over the top for me.
Absolutely incredible talent there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Nice, but i think the watch's 'look' is lost and looks 'overdone' with the bracelet, but on leather, its spot on unique and intriguing.
