I think u might want to give Natas a shoutout ... Seems like one of his builds but I might be wrong :02.47-tranquillity:

Does he own the logo on the pictures? It might be a clue as to who made them. And Natas makes fantasy builds for the most part right?

From what I can guess (and I am an amateur when it comes to vintage PAMs), is that it's a Rolerai, with a Rolex dial, bronze (brass?) hornlug case and with a Molnija (modded to look like a Cortebert) movement.

@kilowatorre, your thoughts? :)

You could post it one the homageforum. I bet you would get an answer overthere. It may easilly be one of the members there since they do some amazing staff related to "homage" watches..

I thought I replied to this already... Maybe my phone is failing on me :)

This is a build from @ice_gee (known as akvanautas on homage forum).
He's no longer in the game AFAIK, anyway there are a few guys that could make a similar one.

As far as I can figure this build is based on a very expensive and currently unobtainable esdee brass/bronze hornlug case set, I might be wrong but I think he could have had bezel and case back gold plated. Movement is a cortebert 520R with custom Rolex engraved bridges. High end build for sure, as many watches ice_gee built.
Let's see if he's around and can confirm.
