I might actually prefer the Bamford ones, lol

c41006 · 12 March 2015, 07:29 AM

I'm not too sure how I feel about these

REFZ · 12 March 2015, 07:32 AM

Looks like true quality work but not for me.

Me neither. I guess these involve a lot more man-hours to complete.

MonBK · 12 March 2015, 07:43 AM

A matter of taste.

The wild west theme detracts from his art imo. Especially the big lumed modern sports watches. He should try smooth bezel YG Day Dates on leather and get some hardcore vintage WIS customers instead of people wanting watches to match their ..erm noisy objects we're not allowed to discuss. He appears to be doing ok either way so good for him! If you want a personalised caseback engraving I'd imagine you couldn't go far wrong.

breitlings · 12 March 2015, 08:06 AM

I like them, reminds me a bit of the grand master chime. Also like the western theme.

Swiss_Time_Watches · 12 March 2015, 08:08 AM

I read this earlier tonight. Stunning, if I could afford it I would.

Matt748 · 12 March 2015, 08:09 AM

Really nice engravings

SWISSAHOLICS · 12 March 2015, 08:10 AM

I agree.

AF_Rob · 12 March 2015, 08:13 AM

If I HAD to customize my watch, I'd go this route... This guy is obviously talented. His designs are in my wheelhouse definitely. But, I'd rather have it on a pen or something like that.

FTX I · 12 March 2015, 08:15 AM

I much prefer these Bamfords, but I would never buy a custom watch.

Agreed Clive. Very interesting result.

fania123 · 12 March 2015, 08:57 AM

I personally think they look horrible! Make the watch look cheap and fake looking, but that's why there is chocolate and vanilla.

I'm not a fan of custom watches. None of them. But in comparison to those on JJ's original post I like the PVD ones more than the tattooed ones.

Those are nice

breitlings · 12 March 2015, 09:01 AM

seems like these appeal more to people in the USA

RHIII · 12 March 2015, 09:13 AM

Interesting. Phenomenal craftsmanship on these. I'm personally an 'OEM' kinda guy - but I do appreciate craftsmanship!

THC · 12 March 2015, 09:19 AM

Ummmmm No..... Not a chance in the world... Simple yellow gold is all I need

prestocheetah · 12 March 2015, 09:29 AM

very nice artwork, but it's just … not for me!

is that gonna be a trend for 2015? cuz the Panerai just released the pam604, & it has engraved all over on the case!

Punishher7 · 12 March 2015, 09:35 AM

I wouldn't pay those prices but I really appreciate the work he does.

Trailblazer · 12 March 2015, 09:47 AM

And I thought 904L was tough..LOL
I still dig rolexes straight from the factory

simongpaez · 12 March 2015, 09:53 AM

Not for me at all

JohnAndrew · 12 March 2015, 10:38 AM

Very, very interesting. I'm digging it.
Thanks for sharing the article.

gwozhog · 12 March 2015, 10:33 AM

I would love to see an all gold DD engraved like that.

I agree I think a DD might look pretty good and i can appreciate the art and craftsmanship involved however that is one irreversible mod that you would just have to accept cannot be reversed
