Haha bro I don't know what to tell you other than my next build has Three words bro:

Split second chronograph


It doesn't just tell time. It tells history.

Exciting to watch these come about buddy. The SS will be epic!

Multi million dollar watch in the real world!

Not all that inexpensive in the replication either. Lot of custom parts you're talking there bro...

What's in for today??!! Well, my wrist chose to sport a MM45 manual wind with an Asian 6497. The lume was mildy aged by me to a subtle orange-ish tint. The lume holds good even in daylight thought I subjected it to my weird ageing process [emoji56] . The box was made by me and is what is used by me to ship out watches post my mod work.

Over to the Lume pic below:

That looks a little darker than I expected but perhaps it's lighting? The font print looks good!

As far as builds go I have something better than the Daytona to show you [emoji6] it's literally the most insane thing. Ever. I messaged u

May I present to you my Rolex 6694 OysterDate Precision in black-gilt dial and leather strap combo. At first sight, the watch appears pretty small though the measure clocks a 36.5mm including the crown. But the watch grows over your mind and the size issue becomes almost non-existent.

Best Regards,
Russel
