Jim. I only know of two others that offer plating in the US. One has a 12+ month waitlist and doesn’t offer plating as a stand-alone service. The other is newer to plating but I trust him 100%, but he also has a waitlist.
What about you?
The endlinks on the middel piece looks different to the other two It looks like a Regular 116500

I've finally let go of both Oascom meteorite Daytonas. I hope the new owner enjoys them.

Didn't really wear them. I had a huge watch collection at one point but realised I only really end up wearing one or two most the timeJust didn’t wear them or sharing the love?
I hear that buddy. I’m very much the same tbh. You sold two beautiful watches though, glad another Daytona lover gets to enjoy them at least!Didn't really wear them. I had a huge watch collection at one point but realised I only really end up wearing one or two most the time
It looks amazing on the OysterflexReceived my CF V3 earlier today. Really happy with it. Initial thought is that crystal isn't all that bad. I had convinced myself that I needed to change it to a deep crystal but I might give it some time. Anyhow, I need to build up the courage first!

Does anyone know the story behind the two dots on either side of the 6 subdial?
Don't know what the dots are exactly, but looks like this is a dial sent for chronograph certification. Never meant to be put in a watch lol

Absolutely heartbroken about this dial. It was left with a local watchsmith for installation. Got a call this morning saying he couldn’t install it. I figured, okay, let’s see what’s up.
I arrived to the shop and he tells me the dial cracked while he was handling it. WTF!?!?!???? I was so looking forward to this build. This dial is something else! The way it plays with light is absolutely insane.
I immediately messaged JJ to let him know about my woes just to vent. He was also heartbroken to see his work of art ruined. So he offered me a deal on a replacement which was totally unnecessary on his behalf.
He did successfully install the MOP dial but the chrono seconds hand was misaligned so he’s fixing that. Picking it up tomorrow.
