Just finished my latest watch!
Yep I said finished... Saw a watch on another forum that I really like the look of but it wasn't by any brand as the guy had built it himself, and with a bit of help in sourcing all the parts etc.. I managed to build my own.
Never had a full skeleton watch before and never built a watch before but have to say I'm really please with how this one came out
It wasn't anywhere near as easy to put together as I had imagined when I was buying the parts and a lot of mistakes were made along the way but with a bit of advice I managed to overcome them and be able to wear it now!

Don't get one straight away, they are bringing out a tourbillon next year that will be under £10k (very cheap for a tourbillon) and with 40% it will be an absolute steal, if you are going to take advantage of the discount then you may as well properly take advantage of it!
My two, both wedding anniversary presents from my wife, the Omega at 20yrs and the Tudor at 25

That Tudor really does look nice in the flesh. Much better than the computerised images on websites.

Bloody hell good work sir.
Love the Panerai-esque crown protector

Agreed, I wasn't sure about it until I saw it in the flesh, the blue is much better in real life than on the advertising. I love the titanium too, it's quite a bit lighter than the Omega even though it's bigger.

Good effort
I saw some of the problems you had getting it together
Make no mistake if you're going down this road you better have great eyesight, read a lot, a good tool set and be ready for some very frustrating hours until you get what you want. The upside is you can stand back and be proud of putting something together that most people just can't do.

Go for it, glad I found out about the 25% which is supposed to be for existing customers but it accepted my order fine which knocked 149 quid off

bu&&er! Just missed this and I was in the market for a new watch! That Tag on 0% finance is a likely candidate now my F1 Chronograph has gone to the grave.

Theyve still got the 15% off advertised on the website so might be worth seeing if the XMAS25 promo code is still being accepted, you can always cancel the basket if not.

I was 24 min late
After spending about 3 and a half hours looking at different watches, eventually we left H&I with a Tudor Black Black Bay to tide him over for the next month or so whilst he waits on his new AP Jumbo.
I'll take a pic when he stops mucking about with it. It's been on several Natos, back on the bracelet and when I left earlier it was just the case. Lovely looking watch and I'll be pinching it as its a great looking piece.

I love that watch, did try and convince him he wanted another PO so I could wear it........he was having none of it.
Although he does have the black and orange omega nato for it. But I believe that the new green and blue nato is £455 plus vat! For a fabric strap? Clearly Omega want to keep it a bit more 'exclusive'
