Tempus Machina released a new watch today. I know some of the purists do not care for modified watches, but the craftsmanship/execution on these is quite remarkable IMO. Check out the old school relief gilt dial and handwork of the case shaping and chamfers. I am a fan of all their creations but really liking the tribute to the 6542!

They do make some very nice pieces IMO no doubt about that. But for $35,000 there are a lot of watches I would rather buy

Johny · 18 July 2017, 02:12 AM

It looks good. the coin edge bezel is very nice.

Valenciawatchrepair · 18 July 2017, 02:45 AM

I've never seen these before. Really like the reworked cases, but not a fan of the dial and removal of the crown protectors at all.

Wesley Crusher · 18 July 2017, 02:51 AM

Love it, but 35k... ouch!

travisb · 18 July 2017, 04:41 AM

Looks awesome but 35k?!?!

Cryten · 18 July 2017, 05:46 AM

Like everyone else said, it looks great, but not $37k great.

joli160 · 18 July 2017, 05:50 AM

That's beautiful

Kyle13 · 18 July 2017, 05:55 AM

Looks cool, but for 37k I'm not going to be a buyer anytime soon. None of the stuff done to the watch adds any value.

cop414 · 18 July 2017, 08:04 AM

Looks nice but as others have said that's pricey.

GB-man · 18 July 2017, 08:15 AM

It's beautiful! Can't drop 35 on it though.

ejvette · 18 July 2017, 08:51 AM

I wonder whos actually paying that kind of coin for that

HL65 · 18 July 2017, 08:59 AM

They make some really cool pieces that are well done. Would I buy one? No but only because of the price.

I won't pretend to be a strict purist, but somehow this just seems wrong to me. I get the same vibe from this as I would from a back alley fauxlex. I appreciate the craftsmanship and the fact that it started out as an authentic Rolex, but making it something that it's not is tantamount to a replica to me
