Branis we have already talk in DM weeks ago ..

Is a tiger (the homage brand ) also the heuer and the minute hands are tiger , the second hand is cartel because I broke the tiger maybe i change it in the next future

The tiger was short not gen like (almost touch the rehaut) so I have extended it a bit 1mm circa with little piece of paper glued than sand it and finally orange color .

Not perfect but much better

Right. But it looks good anyways. I believe our watches become more precious with the extra work we put into them. I have some reps which are as perfect as they can be (as a rep). They become boring soon. Whereas the ones with little imperfections make me look at them and think about how to fix them. Somehow that's more interesting. That "imperfect" GMT hand of yours is something more valuable than a perfect one imo, because the effort you put into it was worth it. Enjoy.

Yes I have much more satisfaction about project that have involved more parts searching, additional work for
Improve the case the insert ecc ecc

Is a customised/ bespoke watch rare than a stock watch that all can buy with money (expensive rep or super expensive gen )
