The build i just finished, i call it v4.

a little more info on the build, base is BTF. I have cut all the bridges and hand finnished it, anglage , circular graning, mirror polishing, plating etc. Bracelet was brushed as well as lugs. Custom carbon fiber insert, dial and crystal installed as well as genuine hands. I would estimate 85% of movement parts are genuine. Full service and 10 bar pressure tested.

So incredibly nice bro!

I mean what I say here with all my heart:

You should apply with a manufacturer that builds movements / skeletins. Beveling is a rare art form nowadays and they keep looking for smiths. Your skills on this build have reached new heights.

Amazing talent ! Very curious if the skeletonisation sacrifices the integrity?i.e does it do well on the timergrapher in most position ?

I don’t have words to describe how awesome that is. Amazing work! I think I’ve run through your pictures 10 times and am more impressed every time. I had sworn off getting any more Daytonas, but now I’m green with jealousy.
