Donerix 2.0

Can you post a wrist shot please, pretty please

Ok, so where I do order my new Omega Seamaster 300 Master Co-axial (what a name BTW) now. Who has the correct version with white seconds hand and 8400 movement?

You will live on through him - until then you stand together as one.

My mom is relocating to Sanremo, so we have another location. I am game either way

M: I would have thought this would be right up your alley (aside from not being vintage of course) with the straight lugs ( I think I do like it and will have a look at the AD ASAP). PS: Akira and I were thinking of you when he visited me here a few weeks ago. Time for another mini-GTG ....

Another apology for my absence from this great place but I keep getting sucked into projects that end up taking up all my time. About to finish up a little Creperie here in town. But I sourced some cool materials in the last weeks and finally had some time to start turning them into something more useful: I have been getting a lot of Hublot requests lately and wanted to try some new things: Camo leather for HBB: Venom-green lizard for HBB: Two-tone lizard for HBB and AP ROO: A new color for the AP Diver: deep-ocean blue alligator: And since I have been neglecting my PAM offers a bit a few new versions here: Dark-olive Gator belly: Chocolate brown Gator neck: and for the summer: turquoise croc flank: My girlfriend always wanted a fur strap, so I made her the "fuzzy cow" for her Explorer I: Also found a great new antique place and picked up some items: A nice old safe to be restored for my personal collection (way too heavy to ever ship anywhere...) and a nice donor box for another "Che Guevara" style collector box (even has crowns on the latches...): Just had a look at my stash and I think it is time for another sale soon ...

Sorry for letting this thread sleep for a few days but I was flying and working. Still in Yixing, tomorrow Shanghai and then off to Singapore. See you soon. Looks like we are getting a good size group together. In case anybody still wants to RSVP please send it to ericgabriel@aol.com since my gmail account is not working here thanks to the Chinese government ....

3 days in Shanghai, 3 days in Singapore and then another 3 days in Shanghai.

I wish. I loved Bangkok when I was there a few years ago, but this time I have to go to Shanghai ....

I will do my best. The straps are easy but I might have to stick with smaller boxes I hope you can make it. E

He is picking me up from the airport and has helped a lot already me setting things up. Really looking forward to it....

M. and A, you would definitely be a nice addition to the festivities.

Dear Singaporean members: I will be traveling to Asia in the following week and will also visit Singapore for a few days. Singapore has become the city with the most contacts for me and I would like to use this opportunity to get to know as many of you in person as possible. So I am suggesting a little GTG to meet and cherish our favorite pastime on Saturday, June 21st at 6PM at the Longtail Asian Brasserie & Bar at 70 Collyer Quay. Sean from MoVas watches has also agreed to join us and present his newest line of boutique watches. Please feel free to bring a few conversation pieces of your respectable collections to provide the right ambiance. I will bring a few goodies to be raffled off during the event Please RSVP to hamiltonleather@gmail.com so we can give the restaurant the information regarding the necessary seating. Looking forward to meet you in person. Regards, Eric Hamilton Gabriel aka. Donerix PS; Special thanks to my friend Alvin who has been doing most of the leg work to make this happen Please feel free to bring like-minded friends and partners

Made nice grey suede strap for my Safari cheapo model and really love it: And Fidel, our newest family member digs it as well:

Since I have a serious case of Ap RO fever (at some point I had three different dial versions at the same time... see how bad it is...) I decided to get some extra straps with clasps and endlinks from Ryan at intime.co (great service BTW). To be honest switching from bracelet to strap is a bi@tch, the endlinks need quite some massaging (even with the rep strap they come with). But in the end my persistence prevailed and I got them mounted: Here are the first prototypes: Brown Nubuk: Black Saffiano leather (great material to work with and super soft: Here on the wrist: E

Blue for the win:

Why is that? What is the problem? Movement height? They could sell a lot of them for sure.

It's about time though. I would love a Leo Messi

Very happy with this one:

M: so stunning - wow Falling in love with this watch a customer sent me to make him a better strap (had to order the blue dialed version for myself):

I don't know, but I have a BBK (48mm) and a Big Bang (44.5mm) and the two have different strap sizes ...

Sounds like you might have a BBK strap and not a HBB. If you want you can PM me and I can see what I can do.

I wasn't a big fan of the Royal Oak on the bracelet. I just felt it was too much metal. But then a customer of mine sent me his to replace the poor rep leather strap and I instantly warmed up to it. A truly classic watch that has just the right balance of casual and formal to wear it every day at any time: PS: Pics are still with the rep strap, new ones to follow

I love it on the leather. A client just sent me his to make him a better strap. With the rest of last weeks loot:
