    One of the greater designers and case engineers IMO with a few notable pieces including the the Blancpain Bund, the Squale Marina Militare that probably beat the Panerai Mille Metri to the military watch contract.

    Here are a few of them... hope to see some of your pieces too.

    Left to right:

    - A custom made tribute starting with a homeless case
    - a thicker cased vintage PDV with a Bakelite bezel
    - - a thicker cased Quartz with a Bakelite bezel

    The tribute piece I've been wanting to build for a while with a a bit more of an early vintage diver inspiration
