Micasol what would one have to do to become in possession of a work of art as such? hypothetically

It’s a modded “little” Franken one, movement servicing and improved with gen parts, band brushed and oiled to gen feeling and looking, aftermarket dial/bezel, gen hour/minute/seconds chrono hands, gen crystal with gasket, it’s a beautiful watch, not a heavy Franken, anyway very beautiful and reliable one, was fun and cool to do it and see how it’s look in real, really pleasant.

My dilemma. I have a beautiful blue and chocolate from Micasol. My issue is self- conscious. I work with people how know a 50k watch. So I bought an Oreo combo to swap out. But I do love the blue! Ugh!

Looks aboutey stunning. How do you work? Do you make your own projects and then sell them on m2m? Do you take commissions?

Sometimes listed m2m, but without profits it’s the rules here.
Others build for members who’ve send me pm and if a cool project I build it for them.

Guys and Ladies. Whatever you decide to do make sure you research a watchmaker who is willing to service this for you.

Mine is currently being worked on and is straight from TD never on the wrist. Movement is dry as a bone and even has rusty parts!!

You spend good hard earned cash on these. Please pay a bit extra towards service to give you more longevity and reliability.

See below images.

Wow that's the worst I've seen! How did it look on the timegrapher during QC?

Most of qc pics are done after shaking the watch, like this hairspring seems running at top, and of course timegrapher done only on fewest seconds

Here is my last one for a great member, sadly will not publish clear pics of the watch as impossible is to get this dial and bezel and don’t want to see this build exposed everywhere in internet.

Spec are all gen expect midcase
