Every time I see 1, I get that familiar itch. But because they are a fantasy model, I just cannot rationalize wearing it because I do not spend money on watches I do not intend to wear -- at least occasionally. So I will have to envy yours. Thanks for posting this classic. Wearing the Pagani today

It started out as a Bond era Seamaster. It’s actually a Closed Factory 40th Anniversary Bond Seamaster: 2537.80 (still has the caseback). I had Micky @SSTEEL swap the dial and hands. The dial is a gen 2230.50 that I had lying around. It was relumed in a white super luminova (originally it has a green hue). The handset was also relumed to match the dial, spare sword hands from a 2254.50 with a 45m Planet Ocean second hand cut down. The crystal is a Prof Steve 2xAR and the bezel is an early 42mm Planet Ocean. Running an ETA movement. It’s my favourite watch bar none. Micky assembled it years ago and it’s been flawless ever since. The only issue I have is the lug holes in the case. They are not in the right place and none of my bracelets fit correctly. 1

It's now my new favorite watch too! I'll have to keep an eye out for that dial. 19 hours ago, kernow said: The only issue I have is the lug holes in the case.

You might be able to bend them to fit. https://unclestraps.com/products/us1171-omega-speedmaster-bracelet-19mm-and-20mm?variant=37783234576572
freddy333 Posted November 19, 2023 Report Posted November 19, 2023 Wearing the Big Kahuna today, but would have worn Goldie if I had not been out with a friend today & unwilling to risk the unwanted attention such a watch attracts. 1

I’m happy with it on leather at the moment. I could recase it using another mid-case. I have a later ceramic version which, by all accounts, will fit.
