Total petrol head. I restore old classic cars for living. I think that classic cars and watches go perfectly hand to hand.

That's so cool! I totally envy people such as yourself that have the skill and the eye to make beautiful things a reality!!!!

Cheers mate! I've allways enjoyed doing small and fiddly stuff. Here are some other watches that i've painted (the monstera line😂)

Are the ones on the right the eldritch symbol of the Elder Gods from HP Lovecraft?

Coming soon to a Botanical Garden gift shop near you!
That is cool. Can you do a field watch version with a compass bezel? He can impress his friends with his navigation skills with just a watch and the sun.

Nice idea! I'll keep that in mind! Only minus is that there's not much sun here in Finland right now😂

No. They are leafs of monstera plants.
From left to right:
-Monstera adansonii
-Monstera deliciosa variegata albo
-Monstera adansonii variegata ( half moon )
-Same as second watch

Well that goes to show how my mind goes to weird tales immediately instead of botany -_-! Do plan to make an entire watch as well or you are focusing on dial art like in this collection?
Nice work.
Does the scout patrol emblem have a meaning - of so, what is it please?
Looks great ! Well done.

Dial art is the main thing. I have a lot of watches at home. I buy them from temu or from flea markets. Then I mix and match them together with the dials i've painted. The one I made for my son is put together from parts of five diffrent watches.
Way to go, dad!!! Awesome!!!
Nice work.

Black and gold colors are from Alastaro's (place in Finland) old crest. The barley and leaves represents farming in this area.
Love it! What kind of paint and brush did you use???
So cool! And Be Prepared!

The base paint is just metallic blue spray paint. Black part is matt black spray paint. The brush is meant for model painting and the rest is acrylic hobby paint or paint from a spray can.
Very nice
Nice 👍
Well done!
That is awesome!
What a lovely and thoughtful gift. Even if he just likes it a little now that’s ok. When he is grown it will be worth far more than any Rolex or Patek to him. I think it’s amazing. Well done
Fun fact: Finnish scouts are kind of technically girl scouts because they belong to the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. As in every scout in Finland is, in a sense, a girl scout.
The watch is really cool. I wish I could do stuff like that, but with my awful co-ordination with my body and shaky hands, it is unfortunately not possible. 😭
Thats heartwarming, and it will be a nice memory for your son as he grows older. 👌🏻👍🏻🙂
