Fantastic skill involved & really like the Valets , but got sidetracked & I’m now doing the word search & found Omega , Timex , Universal , Bulova & Sinn so far . I’ve also noticed you've included yourself also 👍
Agree…fantastic skill involved! 👍

Also, upon further review, I found TAG Heuer and DOXA…and regarding U.S. federal law enforcement, I found DEA…two times.

LATE ENTRY: In addition, I found rival American Airlines (AA) depicted…five times…which probably means @Duracuir1’s favorite airline is American Airlines! 😲

ANOTHER LATE ENTRY: Check it out…I found @Duracuir1’s crafty depiction of Hooters…see the orange squares below! 😎

I finished this one yesterday. It was an experiment. My findings following the experiment are that it will look better with a Speedy Pro.

Arrived! Expectations are exceeded. Steve is a master craftsman! The “model” 2998-6 is on the left with its 145-22-69 stablemate on the right.

Steve, when you take this cottage industry public, please let me know so that I can buy stock. 😀

The brown leather matches your dial quite well. I was hoping for that result.

I have made enough of them now that I hope to display them here on one thread. A regular valet is so easy to make. I have enjoyed making them at a slow pace and giving them a unique touch.

Can you guess the watch it represents?

The case and lugs are polished.

And the wooden box valet. This is the only one that I have kept. I use it every night.

I am not sure why we even call these “valet”, but then again… “deployant” (and it’s commonly frowned upon deployment) makes no sense either.

Thanks for looking. This last photo looks like a Halloween decoration…
The shroud of @Duracuir1 fine leather goods is a bit like the last one.

This one completed today. Say “Reverse Panda Valet” three times. And we can all call this the Spandau Valet for you 80s types.

The white sub dials on the subject watch are so cool. I had to add a few more…
