A couple recent builds

I thought I'd share a few more builds.

First is a tudor homage.

Then a quick skx explorer for a local.

A vintage poker chip style diver

I did another seikonaut after someone liked a commission.

I've been working on 3 very special pieces but they're not ready to share.

And lastly stay tuned for what I think might be the absolute pinnacle in rolex homages, there's going to be a couple posts on the progress for that one.

These look great, I wasn't aware there was that much of a market for custom watches. It must be nice to have found a thing you enjoy that can also pay. Cheers.

Very nice, especially that seikonaut and the tudor homage. Would it be possible to share the source you got the parts from? Because all I've found was Lucious Atelier and Komo but I haven't seen that kind of parts on they websites

·

That poker chip diver is on point 👌🏼. Nicely done.

·

These are brilliant!

Is it a domed crystal on the poker chip one?

·

Very nicely done!

It almost has to be, the distortion of the lume photos, suggest it is in fact a domed crystal. 🙂

The Tudor & Poker Chip are killas, my friend. Excellent job, and well done! 🤩🔥🍻

·

Are you taking on new commissions? That Seiko looks great 👍

·

The poker chip matched to that strap looks amazing

For the seikonaut it's the 36mm seikonaut case from lucius atelier and dial and hands from namokimods.

The tudor homage is a case from the heimdallr store on aliexpress and the dial and hands are from lucius atelier.

Here's a list of suppliers that someone has compiled.

I like ordering from namokimods, crystaltimes, ajuicet, mod mode, weezmods, and tokeilab the most but I've used a few others and have had generally good results. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions.

Correct. The case I found vague with the tophat crystal and is kind of a bulova mil ships style case, though with a larger lug width.

·

These are all fantastic! Nice 👍🏼

Thanks for the links and inspiration, I'm just waiting for some free time at work so I can build something nice again. The seikonaut is really special from my point of view, because building a watch like the original for a fraction of the price and having fun while doing it is a much greater achievement than paying full price for the original 🍻

I will say the lucius atelier case is really nice, especially if you like the look of the bracelet.

I don't know why google search didn't find most of these links(maybe because of the geographic location) but I think I just fell down the rabbit hole, there is an incredibly lot to go through 😀

Do you sell them ? That poker chip one is nice

I do a mix of personal builds, commissions, and builds to sell.

Love that poker chip model, man, that is such a great looking watch.

Looking awsome! I hope mine end up half as nice

I'm sure they will.

Love the chip diver - what are the dimensions on that?

Where did you get your seikonaut case?
