Nice topic rob. And ofc the watch is looking great :cheers:

It's a bit rare that reps are "worth" more than a gen. Great build and thread - wtg!

Worth?

 

[Xaval]

Yes. A lot of personal and community effort/colaboration with great final results. Money can buy you the 100% gen... this should be a special piece imo.

 

[txrob779]

Oh indeed +1

FYI fellas, this is over 2 years old and STILL a weekly wearer and just a bad ass watch.
