    Pick up a good used deep sea for 7k ish, have it stripped and polished/bead blasted, send as parts to DLC Coater, back to watchmaker for reassembly. There’s about £800 tops worth of cost/work in this and then punt it out in a crap box for £6k premium

    Why are professional photographers so crap, those images almost look like drawings rather than real world images. Take the damn thing outside, put it on a table and let us see what it really looks like. Must be the same guy that works for Watchfinder.

    Some mug will spend the money on it. Especially with it being from flannels.

    Rolex customisation?

    I see architect in a black polo neck, or one of those Apple executives in a corporate casual black turtleneck, sleeves rolled up delivering an oh so off the cuff inspirational talk at a new product launch.

    Actually, it has some appeal.

    The Flannels one is ok, but not at a premium really, whereas the Milgauss is fantastic, not to everyone taste but a real work of art.

    Didn't a member on here have similar engraving done to their Panerai? I quite like this, certainly different.

    One I have noticed a couple of times (oddly enough) is Dennis Collins from the programme 'Fast n Loud', looks like he has a Sea-dweller or Sub but changed the bracelet to one similar to a belcher/link bracelet. Not to my style but I have never seen one like it.

    Crap pic but you can just about see it on this one: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/cBHL6Zjsm7U/maxresdefault.jpg

    Somebody will like it no doubt - but at £14k, who would actually buy it?!?

    It’s all too fussy, then again I think chronos are too fussy, so maybe I’m not the target market

    That's an awful looking watch ( that seconds hand is vile ) made to look even worse. Quite an achievement. Bravo.
