Yes, very nice work. It looks like it been in the brimey depths of the ocean on the wrist of a very daring man.

Thank you for sharing this beauty. A very nice work of art. Some thing that i dream while i am dreaming. Enzo... pardon me asking; did you go to any school for this or this is that you learn along the way of your hobbie?

Regards, and respect

Enzo...that is a great watch and its evident your a true professional at what you do. Ill be very honest Im not into the beat to hell look and if you ever need one done naturally just send it to me to wear for a week or so and I can guarentee youll have the same outcome. I prefer my watches to look new and nice but what you do is truly a work of ART!!!

nice job. The good thing as pointed out by Enzo is grab some tools and there is no limit :)

I like the aging, but cannot bring myself to scratch up my own to age them :?

I prefer historically correct, but looking like they did out of the box :)

simply interested in watches since I was very small. And I am not a watchmaker, just a hobbiest ... anyone can purchase tools, so there is little to stop me

...thanks for sharing your handiwork...I really like looking at your pics and reading about how you modify the watches...I recall seeing some of the vintage Rolex's you did recently, do you ever put any of them up for sale? :)

stunning work!

another masterpiece, without question, enzo. very nice work, and something you will enjoy with much pride since your hands brought it to life...a very unique life, too (not another like it).

enzo that is a really cool watch. it looks very realistic and normal for it's intended age.

That's an absolute cracker, mate !
Those beveled rose-gold colored hands are really something, as original as they get these days, IMO.

What can I say - another stunning piece from my neighbor :)

cheers,

well they're gen hands from the 40's so they look good by default :)

Ha ! So that must be why they look so REAL :)

In retrospect, I wish Panerai went extra mile and gave it some thought when designing their 203 8-giorni hommage couple of years ago, IMO those original beveled hands would have fit much nicer Angelus mov't 'powered' watch. Instead, they used slightly different 'Fiddy (127) -type' hands... :(

cheers,
