It just never gets old right?! We gotta get together so I can see this beauty in person!

Indeed homie. Others come and go, but this one is very special to me. Especially being that I turn 50 in a couple months.

Would love to get together. I am doing a consulting gig in Roseburg the 24-25th. Be coming through your hood on the way down on Sunday the 23rd. Maybe we can meet for lunch.

I like it... care to elaborate the origin? I am new here... is this question allowed in public? :)

Hey this isn't Harry Potter, there is no "he who shall not be named." I'll let him tell you, is a beauty, isn't it?

My Pulp Fiction watch, exact the same as in the film, made from 3 donor watches, had a watchmaker rebuild movement, got rid of lume etc, took 3 years to find correct dial with Lancet in same size, and hands from another lancet, and glass & case... also found the 1950s Kangaroo that the watch was left on in the movie... one of the only films which is basically all about a watch... film stills at bottom

Thanks bro! I appreciate those details and especially the dial and the subdial hands. I think that's what make pieces like these unique. Little details no one else can see but we do [emoji4]
