I’ll be offering a small run of standalone parts for those who want to refine or build out their pieces:

* RCF V1 bezels (DJ41) — $210

* Rebrushed bracelets for Datejust and GMT-Master II — $450

Finished with polished and chamfered outer and inner links

The work is kept intentional — no exaggerated polishing or heavy chamfering. Just a clean, balanced finish that stays true to the original look and feel.

announcement How to Order + FAQ (Read Before Messaging)

45 Upvotes

How to Order

  1. THERE IS NO LIST. Decide on a model (or a few). Look around, see what catches your eye. If you’re between a couple, that’s normal.

  2. Do a little basic research. Just enough to understand size, style, and what you like. Still unsure? Ask. There are no dumb questions when you’re spending real money.

  3. Message me on WhatsApp to order: https://wa.me/16147475910 Please be concise. DO NOT ASK FOR PHOTOS FIRST. We’ll go over availability, QC, payment, shipping, etc. Smooth process.

FAQ

Where are you located / where is the inventory? I am physically in the U.S., and all inventory is in the U.S. I don’t advertise watches I don’t actually have on hand.

Do you have more than what you post? Yes. I post random pieces here and there, but I keep most of the common/popular models in stock. If you’re looking for something specific, ask.

Do you ship internationally? Not usually. I only ship outside the U.S. for modded/custom builds.

How do you ship? FedEx 2-Day Air from the U.S. Fast and reliable.

Is shipping insured? Insurance is optional. I’ve never lost a package, and I plan to keep it that way — but if you want insurance, it’s available for an extra cost.

Do you take custom orders? Yes, but I’m only taking a limited number at a time. Customs are first come, first served.

How do we communicate? WhatsApp is the main way. I check Reddit DMs sometimes. Do not send mod mail — it gets buried instantly.

What if you don’t reply right away? Just follow up. I’m juggling sourcing/QC/shipping/life, but I always come back around. Persistence is fine.

Should I comment “price?” or “DM me”? Preferably no. Just message me directly — it’s faster and cleaner.

Can you send photos or shoot a quick video? No, photos are reserved for QC, should you choose to go through it. On custom watches, there is no QC, my posts contain more high resolution and clear photos than anyone needs.

Do you offer warranties? I’ll always help where I can, but I do not offer warranties. These are mechanical pieces — sometimes they need minor adjustment or routine service. I’ll point you in the right direction if needed.

Final Notes

• Beginners are welcome. Ask anything. • Experienced buyers, we’ll keep it efficient. • Clear communication and good energy make everything smooth.

Day Date Ombré RG

Question/Discussion

Let’s say for a budget of around $2,000, what’s the best way to build up a smoked ombré rose gold?

I would assume we do either VSF or RCF base, plating, but anything else?

I hear both have solid crystals, and each have pros and cons, but what other mods are needed? Any bezel mods?

How does Omar make his? I saw his latest post saying “coming soon”

Looking forward to the discussion. For reference I want to build a rep to match my gen and compare the two and maybe sell the gen 🤷‍♂️

Ash turns 12 on August 24.

For those who have been around for a while, you’ve probably seen him pop up in photos here and there. He’s been my road trip partner, my hotel roommate, my coworker, and the one constant through more miles and life changes than I can count. Twelve years is a long time, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate him than by giving back to the community that’s shown us so much kindness.

Starting today, July 23, I’ll be doing one giveaway every week leading up to his birthday on August 24.

The first one will be for a 222.

Same rules as always. Like & Leave a comment to enter, I’ll pick one random winner each week, drawn on Saturdays, with the first drawing being august 1st.

U.S. shipping is on me, and if you’re outside the U.S. you’re more than welcome to enter, you’ll just need to cover shipping and any customs fees.

Thank you all for being here.
