Very nice photography skills and congrats on the new watch.

So did you buy the parts separately and had your watchmaker friend assemble it?

The dial design is something i have never seen before.

The strap you have on it now works well with the watch actually.

Love your IWC as well.

Hi levelz,
Don't worry, you're not crazy. You're just infected with an incurable disease like the rest of us here.

Great pics and love collection of watches. I particularly like the rose gold Unitas :thumbsup:
By the way, does your friend take custom orders?

 :Cheers:
