This is an absolutely stunning watch. I’d love to see a video of how this is done because I’m so drawn to genuine artisanal work.
Rolex would never accept this watch for service, but there are many good independents.

Thanks for answering my question and posting these videos. Any idea as to how long it may have taken him to complete your watch?

What a craftsman. We’re losing more and more of these people. Again, your watch is a treasure. No wonder you’d never part with it.

Sincere thanks.

Pending coverage and complexity, 6-8 weeks, and you have to be put on the waitlist, usually 4 months. Mine took approximately 44 hrs. David Sheehan waitlist was about a year ! Due to the small size and strain on eyes, Harris can only engrave a watch 1.5-2 hrs daily on a watch. Most engraver's mainstay is guns, with watches as a secondary.

The process of choosing a preferred style, engraver, and design is a great experience that creates a bond with the watch …………….. I highly recommend it if you have the desire ! I’m planning another !

My Tag Heuer Formula one alarm. Wife bought it for me for our first anniversary and it’ll never leave the collection.

Stunning piece, top of my list of grails and there's very few of my grails I don't have.

Thanks! Just glad I came to my senses before doing something I'd regret.

Can’t see selling this. Just love the unique design a regulator carries.

I have a few blue 3 handed tinepieces but this is one piece I cannot envision letting go.
