The work he does is amazing, but I would never ever walk around with it, not for me. Interesting to see how easy he scrapes off the metal.

Reminds me of the Panerai 672 which I love ... in this case not so much.

Well done, but not for me. I'd probably send it to RSC for a polish.

What the heck! I’ll dissent from the group opinion. I’d actually consider it. You just don’t see too many craftsman like that any more.

Nice work and craftsmanship. Lot of skills. However, not for my liking. It looks and fills lethargic.

No, please note that it will also void your Rolex Warranty.

I would love to have one of these watches.

People throw the term unique around quite a bit here, but these pieces are truly unique.

Screw the warranty.
