Tobacco Tropical 1016 Explorer

Recommended Posts

Recently finished up a 1016 tropical dial build for @JimboJames1972. The dial is my own creation, the hands are clarks which I added some "tritium damage" to, and the rest is Cartel. It was a fun little month-long project :)

Thanks all for the compliments :) I only do this for fun. I didn't charge Jimbo for my labor, only the cost of parts. He also volunteered to make a equivalent payment to a charity of my choice, which I thought was a nice gesture. I won't be picking up anymore projects in the near future, but your interest in my work is much appreciated.

What a shame (no more projects).

Nice of Jimbo to do the charity thing too.
