Ephry73 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 The case can well be a heavily mod'ed 114060 case. The rehaut engraving is a possible tell. I am one of humble beginnings, even if I could just drop 25k on a watch, I would much rather spend Less than 1k and build something to my unique taste and save the rest. This is just me of course. The combination of parts and overall design are great, but not unique. E 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant1 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 One step ahead of you my friend... Looks VERY similar to the HS01 (I have one) from PBDad in terms of the case itself. I'm in the process already and will start a thread once I confirm more. heck yea man, eagerly awaiting!

aphillipe Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Give me a couple months - I'll start a thread shortly though once I know the timeline and parts are started! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 If someone can build a nice reasonably comparable rep to thus one, I would definite be interested. The no date ceramic Rolex rep sounds like a good base to start this one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightwatch Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 This will be an interesting project to follow, anxiously waiting:) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendota Explorer Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 That is the perfect base watch. In the Tempus Machina specifications list, they flat out say they use the 114060 as their base for this, and then they machine the sh#t out of the case to make it thinner, remove the crown guards, add chamfering, lugholes, and alter the profile shape. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Now I wonder what a 6542 GMT version of this would look like. At that point it's all fantasy. Get a decent gilt dial print, any custom hands and use a + crown or maybe even Adrian's 700 crown to build that or with newer rivet bracelet. Hmmmm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphillipe Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 I'll post a thread of my build once I get confirmation on price and full timeline this week.... Gonna be good ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
508-Fanatic Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I too am considering taking this on... a one-off interpretation Rolex has always been a fantasy of mine. My 5513 is sort of an amalgum of what I'd desire for a 5513 while being reasonably period correct...but this could be something entirely different and fun!

aphillipe Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Well.... Progress is slow but parts are in the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendota Explorer Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 I was wondering when we might hear another update. Maybe there are little Swiss elves hand carving all of the parts for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphillipe Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Custom crystal is taking some time as is waiting for base watch from BK as he's been on vacation most of July Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
