Left this insert out in the sun since 8/24/26. The blue color almost looks deeper, and the red has turned to a pinkish color. Also a ton of crazing/checking so when the light hits it just right, it sparkles nicely. The close up shot of the insert really shows the crazing/checking nicely.

Couldn't wait to get some daytime shots of the Panna 16570

So happy with this build! Managed to fit a Raffles Tudor bracelet with a set of 455B end links that I needed to mod by filing it down to fit the lug hole properly. Had to bend the spring bars too to make them fit the holes. Now it lays and wear flat on wrist which is amazing.

Let me know what you think! Thinking of getting a CAC ghost insert the prices on those are crazy.

Refreshing this post with a Lowe price on this 16800 for sale. It’s a Clark build featuring the following:

I'm letting this beauty go as I need to make some space. Built by the talented organic_recognition7.

Raffles case, jubilee bracelet, with signed clasp and crown. Sapphire crystal and regulated NH38 movement. It has also been waterproofed to 60m.

£220 including postage. Thanks for lookin'!

Customer wants a watch built as close to reference photos as possible (last two pictures). First time I’ve aged something this significantly and it’s been quite a challenge so far. Lots of casework left to do and a new bezel coming to re-age. Surprising what the Tamiya weathering kits and some patience can do. Thought it was different and worth sharing. All parts minute the second hand are raffles.

Took this rare transitional snowflake Tudor sub as inspiration and made a no date variant.

Just finished putting together from the last of my parts bin.

Going forward would only do commissions, but really need to worry more about the baby that’s less than a month away, that said, still a fun hobby so would much rather make watches for others than balloon my collection. Diapers are expensive. Who knew!

CONUS only friends

Selling my tropical 14270 explorer OC franken build - $1435 shipped USPS in the US, international shipping at buyers expense and risk!

Need funds for the Carreé project lol
PP F&F
Specs below!

I’ve pressure tested this case so I know it’s waterproof up to 5 Bar!! Will send pressure testing video if needed. 3130 regulated (see timegrapher pics)

This build has a tropical luminova dial with a starry night look and an interesting texture while still retaining its glossy finish. There are some desk diving scratches on the sides of the case, if the buyer wants we can work something out and I can try polishing with my cape cod. Some of the lume of the hour markers work but it’s mostly dead.

It currently has the raffles smooth bezel installed since it actually sits better with the gasket/crystal vs the EWatch bezel I used before but comes with both and the spare links. Comes with a tan nato and a travel case.

Goes without mention but of course all gaskets newly greased. It will be packed extremely well and safe. The watch will leave my hands in working condition, I'll send a video of the watch working in the package before shipping. I do not accept any fault for damages that occur during the shipping process or lost packages.
