edwinowl 180 Posted March 23, 2014 Had a lazy Sunday afternoon and thought I'd put my babies together for a group shot, only an I phone pic as couldn't be arsed to get the hardware out. There's some blood sweat and tears in those I can tell you. Feeling I'm pretty much there and gonna just enjoy them now. 2 builds left and I'm done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aren 27 Posted March 23, 2014 Great vintage collection Edwinowl. :cheerleader2: I liked them all, and am particularly surprised at how nice the Rolex looks. I am not normally a fan of Rolex/ vintage leather strap, but that one looks absolutely fantastic. Really impressive collection. Thanks for sharing Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShadyManc 0 Posted March 23, 2014 Lovely collection. I have 2x vintage PAMs at the minute but suspect I'll own many more as the year progresses. Don't have the skill/patience to do my own, other than assemble the parts. Keen to learn though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatarms 7,777 Posted April 10, 2014 My god yes. I wish I had the money, skills and know how to build something like that. Is that the one in the thread about the TIffany & Co. over at HF? I remember seeing a thread yesterday there and that one was pretty awesome as well. Edit: just searched there, that was for a Tiffany & Co. Explorer. I didn't think these pics looked familiar.

I remember seeing a thread yesterday there and that one was pretty awesome as well. Edit: just searched there, that was for a Tiffany & Co. Explorer. I didn't think these pics looked familiar. This started out as a Nejad Landrover build. Bronze mid case oxidised. Hand machined in his shop. I had the dial painted by Bennykwa in Germany. Hands I sorted myself. To be fair wasn't cheap but well worth it. Put a Swiss 6497 in too for a quality build. Plexi needs sorting though as it's not the best quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
