rower Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 That is really incredible! I live the way it has come together. I know you were trying to keep the costs down. How much did it end up costing? How much time did you put into this. I hope more pictures are to follow! I'll take one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendota Explorer Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 The next step is to replace the 2mm shouldered springbars with 2mm shoulderless bars so we can see springbar tips. Otherwise, there's no point in having lugholes if you are going to use shouldered bars. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchguyusa1 Posted April 1, 2016 Report Share Posted April 1, 2016 I would send the case to Zocker /swiss machines and have them put the bevel on the lugs, that would finish this off nicely 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hologramet Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Beautiful build!! Truly awesome.. Who was the modder? He did an excellent job, especially the case/bezel assembly/domed crystal. Be proud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hologramet Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 That dial though... Such a perfect gem really needs an upgrade in the future. With gilt and puffy cream lume.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolesium Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 My watchmaker made 3 dials and lumed it. 2x vintage puffy lume (green shining) 1x white flat lume (blue shining) I decided to go with the white flat lume. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djulink Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Hi Gents, Bezel is really nicely executed. I'm looking for one to replace the Silix one I got with the Big D. build, but can't seem to find a proper replacement one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphillipe Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 Would love to see if your friend is up for making another of these with a gilt-style dial with appropriate red depth markings instead of the gold... PM sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolesium Posted July 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) My friend updated the gilt dial with red lettering Edited July 11, 2016 by rolesium 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sogeha Posted July 11, 2016 Report Share Posted July 11, 2016 I think Tempus Machina is the only boutique watch I'd really like, all the others just seem like defaced Rolex's to me. The bezel is the hard part to reproduce, I'd love more details on how that was achieved. Other than the lack of a gilt dial, you have just saved yourself USD18520 :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
