Mine took five weeks. They are very busy and well worth the wait. You can send an email inquiry to Edvi at LAWW for an update on your watch completion status.

Thanks. The strap is from Peter at Gunny Straps. This is his “Black Bay Distressed” strap. Great to work with and awesome quality.

RSC, has on more than one occasion ruined vintages watches even with instructions. Also, their movement service isn't up to par in my most recent interaction with them. I had a 14060 serviced and it came back with the amplitude hitting 220 and below. Most of the positions (all the crown positions) hitting below 200.

The watch looks terrific, those guys are as skilled as a surgeon.

Regarding the lugs: not to be a know-it-all but all photography adds slight distortion to images captured. In motion pictures, we dealt with "lens compression" artifacts. Ever heard the expression "The camera adds 10 pounds", well that's where those ten pounds come from. Similar lens distortion happens in still photography although, I know very little about which lenses cause it and how to minimise the effect.
