Nice website, I hadn't visited theirs before. It's cool to be able to change the dial design, hands etc. and "customise" your watch to a certain degree. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You've turned something that looks (imo) like a cheap shitter into a genuinely lovely watch with one simple mod. High five! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,291 Posted June 8, 2020 First watch in a while for me, bloody furlough painting is ruining my life. Necessary though - my old house is a fecking disaster, clad throughout in disgusting, orangey tongue and groove, 1970s, pine. Most of its gone now, but it was not dissimilar to the photo below. Let me tell you, trying to paint all of that disgusting shite is NOT an easy job. Anyway, vom-inducing pine followed by today's watch. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
