Purple lizzard shoes for the win!! DC I love purple but I find that this combination takes a bit of the glam and the colour of the watch and focus on the strap, What I like about what you've created is the hint of colour from the subdials & indices, the strap draw all the attention, but that's entirely my take on it ! Glad you enjoy it ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wimpie007 108 Posted November 27, 2018 Looks great guys! Now can you send it to me so I can compare it to my gen Sultan? :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S.Corbeil 0 Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) My, oh my! I gotta admit that, while I publicly adhere to the anti-bling bandwagon, somewhere deep inside my soul I still find a bit of desire for some bling-y models (the 2018 Basel Rainbow Daytona, for example). This watch, especially being 1 of 2, and the story surrounding it, makes me lust for it! Good job and please, do post more pictures whenever you get the chance!

Lachsersatz 0 Posted November 28, 2018 @_DC_ You are not a quitter, that's for sure! Irrespective of one's opinion on the watch, you deserve admiration for not only finishing your project but also for providing this excellent insights in the manufacturing process! Chapeau!!!

As you can see I’m having some sort of early mid-life crisis, but aside from that the DC clan are all well and good thanks mate. Safe to say this watch will not be seeing clients, lol, not if I ever want to be instructed on another property haha! How are you doing? What’s your collection looking like these days?

Svenborg 1 Posted November 28, 2018 For some reason I missed this post. I haven’t been on the forum for a long time, but this is certainly the best build and review I have read. I prefer the gold bracelet. Makes for a more masculine and robust watch. A very impressive build no matter how you decide to wear it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lololol Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk So what you’re saying is we had a baby together... Certainly a special feeling, it’s always exciting to get a new watch but when you know you have been instrumental in creating it and are one of only two people to have it that definitely make the feeling even more special!!

_DC_ 218 Posted December 5, 2018 It’s really not as in your face as you might think on the wrist either, at least not on the gold bracelet... (on the purple strap is another matter )... Almost subtle really... DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
