How did you make your case and dial?
Can we buy them? Is it factory's? Or your custom made?

Pure wearable artwork. Screw paintings as they just hang on the wall!

He's building a 6263 Panda for me right now. I can tell you that basically everything is custom made including the aging of the dial. Proprietary secrets that have something to do with a refrigerator I believe

I am the biggest fan girl on the entire planet regarding your 727 builds.
Could you reveal some insight of the process of building the movements? I am so curious how you do all the engravings and plating etc.

People say money alone doesn't make you happy - that's right, you have to spend it on @TheSociety 's builds!!!

The 727 conversion is really difficult and I have a master chronograph watchsmith perform this. It involves a lot of small parts but most importantly

- Chronograph bridge (4 lines)
- Train bridge
- Balance bridge
- new balance
- back of main plate engraved 727
- front of main plate engraved "ROLEX GENEVE"

The engravings my watchsmith does in his shop. The bridges are sourced through a maker in HK. There are many different quality versions from both HK and VN. I just pick the best ones and have my watchsmith convert the Valjoux 72 to Rolex 727 [emoji4]

He is an incredibly skilled watchmaker then.
I am asking, because I am getting started into movement decoration and engraving. I want to do some fun stuff with SH3135 movements...
