wow Enzo, this one is a real gem. nicely done.

This may be my all time favourite of all the works you have posted. I bought a 'vintage' type fiddy from Jon he had distressed, a sort of homage to what you vintage projects, but not as authentic.

nicely done again!

I think there might be a scratch on the case you should ask Davidsen for a new one.

Kidding - looks awesome. I dig how well that motor fits in the case. I love the rolli crown - works very well with this case.

Nice Enzo! I can see the scratches from when it was bumped against the boat hull while planting explosives back in the day!!!! :lol:

Great job giving it a very authentic look.

only to remove everything so that it would not be

in the

way....

Dodecahedron bezel 3646

I really like this case design. It makes one awesome package. Features; 50's Russkie motor, pointy hands, aged brown dial effect, stress cracked plexi - remember this watch is only a few hours old.

I'm actually after a very similar watch - but a little closer to the original. Hoping to convince Davidsen to make me one.

Want a dial with thinner numbers, better hands, etc. And an onion crown instead of a Rollie one.

But yours looks really nice. Good work!
