Thanks guys, when all my commissioned builds are done, finally I'll have time to make some new stuff and build some pieces that I've been meaning to build but didn't get around to.
I have an idea for an Ibiza watch that I wanna see completed, something with a touch of diver, touch of local flavor and a dash of hedonism.

I love the naufragio concept, especially the highly dilapidated one. I have a feeling I'll have to ask Natas to build me one very soon.

Rose Gold plated Slytech Mini Fiddy build for a member.
The pics don’t really catch the peachy golden hue of the plating, but it’s there!

Love your builds. Would love to see some stuff besides pams.

You're like the blaken/ember watches of pams. Haha.

Natas did a “Chernobyl found” watch for me as a project. It just kinda happened - it wasn’t really planned. It was a GMT Rolex that had been buried for years and found. Haha. Pretty cool stuff. I don’t have the watch as it was a gift So I don’t have the pics. Maybe Natas can post

I was thinking more along the lines of zenith. Bamford tied up with zenith to produce some pretty sick watches.

Hey Stan, I'm starting out with plating due to @Thehitman 's thread sparking the interest again that I had in it for a while, just imagined that it ould be much harder.
This case was done by a friend though, as RG is pretty hard to get right on such an object like a watch case for someone like me who' still learning
