There's been several mini-PAM 605's since this one, but this was literally the first 44mm PAM 605 Belkin ever made. I contacted him on 8-Feb, 2022 and asked if he'd be open to making a mini-Fiddy, specifically a mini-605 because I've had been searching for a gen PAM 605 and wanted to quench my thirst with a Belkin build. We had gone over several designs for the dial and finally settled on the final design.

After he placed it in the mail, it sat in the Kiev post office for a couple months as the war had just started. All hope was lost as none of us knew the fate of the post office much less than the package. Then one day D received an update the package had routed to the next destination and after a couple more weeks, it arrived in California. One can say D's packaging was literally bomb proof.

First Belkin build just arrived. The gradient dial is beautiful 🤩. Don’t think this will be the last one either.

I know when he built me the first 1334.... he tried 4 times to get that gradient correct.... so it's not easy and he does a great job!

This build by B12 should be a highlight of this thread, celebrating his work. I did not commission it but I was able to purchase it recently from the second owner - B12 being the original.

I consider this to be one of the finest 6152/1 SF240 (non alarm) homages ever constructed, and I am very happy to be able to enjoy it. Regardless of gen, rare rep, custom build etc, this is one of my favorite watches.

Full build details are best left to the master: https://homage-forum.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=8031
