Custom got customised!
Just had this land back on my doorstep from my watchmaker.

Only a minor tweak but love the hint of red

I thought I would like this but the more I look at it the less I do. Would love to see the Sub with a splash of color but the entire hand looks out of place to me.

Looks awesome Sam! Planning on getting a 114060 in the Fall and having ABC give it the full "Sam treatment"!

I'm still amazed by how good that ceramic insert looks. I like the red hand as well
