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!

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 :-)
