I just received my Rolerai Albino 3602 from the incredibly talented @Belkin12 . Three months ago, I saw a post on RWI featuring a beautiful watch that looked like a hybrid of a Panerai and Rolex. It was so inspiring that I thought to myself, "I'd love to own one."
Fast forward to today, and I now have a custom watch with my own engraved reference number.
Details of the Rolerai Albino 3602:
@Belkin12 has been fantastic to work with, keeping me updated throughout the entire process. He even sent pictures and details about the watch so I could create a custom brochure commemorating my first custom build. The brochures and watch arrived on the same day from different parts of the world.
I hope you enjoy the pictures below. I'm excited to wear this watch proudly and enjoy it for years to come.
