Having admired many of the threads showcasing Belkin's work. I felt as though it was time that I have him build a concept watch for me. I had envisioned a 44mm with the dial layout of the 605 but with the case finishing and dial tone of the 1350 Radiomir. The 1350 is quite a special watch for me as it was the one my wife purchased for me at the Firenze Boutique as a wedding gift while we were in Italy last summer for our wedding. Belkin was very easy to work with and he was quick to turnaround renderings of what I was asking for but the watch itself. It was a little over a week from finalizing my ideas that Belkin provided photos of the finished product. The watch turned out incredibly and my wife is also a big fan of it, especially the caseback which has a number of personalized dates built into the various numbers on the back of the watch for that added special touch!

Panerai should’ve hired Belkin a long time ago 😅 Amazing work and a beautiful watch :love: Congrats!
Thank you very much for the compliments! I'm absolutely loving it and I could not agree more that Panerai would benefit from having Belkin in house developing new ideas for them!

Already starting to think of what I would like to have built next!
