I ran across this name in a thread...I believe from KJ so I decided to check it out. He provides the complete watch except movement. The prices seemed pretty darn good so I bought an Omega AT, Omega SMP, Tudor DJ. Just finished the SMP.

I had a problem with the Tudor case, the caseback threads were almost non-existant, but Boss is sending me another. Still waiting on the AT to arrive, but here is the SMP.

A2824 with H4.
the bracelet is not that great, although the solid end links fit really nice. Clasp is ok.

Bought a deepsea dial from him.
not disappointed...a 2824 d-blue dial with a very good lume, with the hands for 35€ ( approx. 40$)...what else...

I’ve bought a number of movements from him over the past few years, great guy to deal with- very reasonable and professional.

I have the same blue SMP. Got the kit from this seller, dropped in a swiss ETA and pressure tested it. It’s going to be my summer watch this year.

Digging this thread up a bit, I just ordered a Rollie Explorer watch kit from Bosshua, which includes case/hands/dial/bracelet.
If quality is worth it I'll go for gen ETA or Sellita in it.
I'll keep the thread updated once I get the set.

I have had nothing less than stellar service from him. I just did the large Tudor DJ from him and absolutely hate it...ha! but not his fault, it just turned out to be a watch I will never wear, so it goes into the family xmas gift section.

I am wearing my Omega AT now, and I wear the SMP occasionally, they came out really great. The AT, with movement, was less than $200 and its a beautiful watch.

I am seriously considering his Rolex YM. I also did the Tudor BB, but again not impressed with the quality...so I would probably stay away from the Tudors.

So it appears hit and miss...but even on the ones I don't like, I can't complain too much because I don't have much money sunk in them.

pics of both earlier in the thread...

the AT dial, case, hands, crown, caseback...all fantastic...just an all around beautiful watch. The bracelet is average IMO.

The SMP is again, worth what you pay, a very decent rep...I think he uses MP factory...all my other SMP's though are a bit better....but again, for what you pay, you won't be disappointed.

I would stay away from his Tudors though, both I bought were not that great...for just a bit more you can get a NWBIG BB.

Although, I will give props to his BB bracelet...it wasn't bad...the rest was just, let's say, average.

The gold Tudor is just too big and too plain for me.

The BB dial is not as sharp or bright, the indices are good though, the bezel is thicker, I absolutely hate the insert (I bought a replacement HR insert and it does not fit), the crown is a bit thick as well. Like I said, for a little more you can get a NWBIG....

I made these 3 from kits I bought from Boss.

I know they are not perfect but I enjoy the task of putting a watch together. That’s where I get my kicks and that makes it worthwhile for me.

Built this from a Bosshua kit. It is supposed to be the GF Avenger Blackbird V4. I am happy with it.
