Out of curiosity how much such custom job costs ?
It’s design vs. time vs. artist, and it varies greatly !

That's just amazing. Maybe it was posted already but why the number "32" on the clasp?

It’s a Scottish Rite of Free Masonry degree symbol.

16570 Explorer II Black dial on my 16710's jubilee bracelet. The polished center links match the polished bezel edge and chamfered lugs. Looks pretty good IMHO

Amazing work, not for everybody but it is for YOU!

Just curious, but would work on the side of each link be possible? might finish the look nicely

It’s all possible, I’ve never seen them engraved. Many leave the center link untouched for contrast.

Holy smokes, that is one hell of a job. That is mesmerizing to look at. Job well done and much admiration for doing this.

CONGRATULATIONS

This is very beautiful. Will done. David does amazing work. Before I knew of him, I almost had Joanne Ryall do one for me. Life got in the way and I never got to it.

It is also nice to see that after the work, the reference looks closer to a 5 digit with the lugs thinner and the crowns slimmer. Nice,!

It looks great, to bad Rolex doesn’t make a date wheel with red and blue like their roulette black and red that would look pretty cool as well.
