Cool Air King, cool background!

Good eye LVsuber, that is 6061 aluminum, sounds like you may know a thing or two about cnc machining......904L stainless and 6061 aluminum a nice combo....

Careful Justin. Those 34mm watches can get addictive

I wear mine daily for work because it doesn't snag on my sleeves like the others.

Congrats!

If you work in a shop I'm sure you can appreciate the details like the engine turned bezel more than I can, but still love that watch!

Thanks for sharing!
