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














Lovely :)

Congrats mate ;)

The daytonas are a lukewarm piece for me - never really got into them hard. But those are nice pieces nevertheless ;)

Don't get into them because you won't be able to stop (like me) lol. I got it bad right now. I need to get a black Paul newman and I'll stop for a bit.

The albino 6263 you see in front there are only 4 known GEN and I have only documented 3 (including this one) reps across four forums. DW made these and the scammer that he is took off before making more. I don't know exactly how many reps there are but only 3 I have seen on the forums.

Yes the albino dial is rare but it's made, I think Ish used to have one as well. I got into the PNs awhile back but from what I know nothing has changed much due to lack of parts and modders :)

[MENTION=53529]DVNE[/MENTION] IMO yes! A mid 1980's 16800 lughole case = +30 years old.

Lug holes = vintage right? ;)

Here is mine buddy. Everything you see is gen except the bezel, case and back. Those are JMB modded TC parts. Built to a correct k codes 1986. Movement is a modded and serviced yuki 3135. Anything over 25 is considered vintage right?
