I've seen this case on Chuck Maddox site, its a custom made case for the Speedmaster MkIV series which have the case in 2 parts. http://goo.gl/d6FUum I like look of the case and it would certainly make for an interesting addition http://www.chronomaddox.com/c1045.html
For some reason the above link keeps reverting to ebay.com but if you search ebay.de for item 321206103904 then its there
Nice chap and artist Werner Gilliam, I met him in a watch fair in Hambourg Germany for many years ago, well made cases, he wanted to buy my Speedmaster Mark 4.5 that was on my wrist that day to customise it
I think its a great looking case and something special since its also custom. Does he take a standard case and machine it to the new design or is it a totally new case? I wonder how much he charges for just a case?
Probably for the same non-sense reasons some folks put cheap, ugly NATO straps on high end watches....
Hey a lot of people find their Patek in a box of Lucky Charms. Besides that, they're magically delicious .
The same guy rockin' the NATO on the platty Patty probably has some really funny bumper stickers on his Bentley...and drinks his Romanée-Conti from a red Solo cup...(I could go on but then it would be a thread hijack...)
