In a couple of weeks, hopefully, I’ll have a fresh watch build to offer. This one will offer a choice of two different dials and be priced at $125 including domestic US shipping.
Keep an eye out. #watchmaking
I teased this before I went on vacation, and now it’s ready. I put together this build to offer a choice of dial/hand combo.
I think it’s a great look, and that crown is sweet.
I have one available and it’s $125 including US shipping. Not currently offering anywhere but CoSo, because I love you guys.
If you’re interested, shoot me a DM. #watchmaking
@mikeflstfi Trying to make you lift here, but do you make pocketwatches?
@LowEndMuse
Not right now. I do service and repair them, though, as long as they’re not too far gone.
I’d love to hand make one, though. It’s a stretch goal for me, for sure.
@mikeflstfi When that time comes, let me know. I get heat rash with regular watches because I sweat like a hell monster. 😂
@LowEndMuse
If you give me an idea of what sort you like, I can keep an eye out for one that might need some work.
@mikeflstfi Something simple like this in stainless steel, or black.
I know I could go to Walmart and pick one up but that's not the point. I want an item with a good memory attached to it. 💯
@LowEndMuse
Cool. That is a hunting case. Means it has the cover over the face. There are also open face watches like this. Which do you like more?
@mikeflstfi Really don't have a preference. 👍🏻
@LowEndMuse
Duly noted!
unsolicited happy customer testimonial here. Mike does excellent work. I'm very pleased with the one I got a few months back. this is a great deal!
@northernbassist
Thank you for that!
You're welcome. Super pleased with mine.
@mikeflstfi those dials are beautiful!
@fuse
I think so, too!
@mikeflstfi that onion crown!!!
@bfgreen
I know! I really like it.
@mikeflstfi I designed a fleiger pilot watch many years ago - it was going to be produced under the same brand as my Ocean Divers, but it never happened. I should send you my drawings to see what you think - the onion crown made me think of it.
@bfgreen @mikeflstfi while its not a particularly fancy brand, this is my favorite design for a pilot watch.
@fuse @mikeflstfi so many good pilot #watches out there, hard to beat an IWC or Sinn, but I love the Hamilton Khaki... #womw
@fuse @mikeflstfi though the Hamilton is more of a field watch I guess
@fuse @mikeflstfi yowsers! Amazon sells the Hamilton Khaki, didn't know (or expect) that. #watches
@mikeflstfi @fuse nice work. I personally can’t do anything gold or rose cold, but it’s a beauty. I’ll try and find my illustrations today and share.
@mikeflstfi @fuse ah! But yeah, it's not my thing but I can appreciate it. Is it a bronze plating on 316 steel?
@mikeflstfi isn't bronze heavier than steel? If you had similar cases you could weigh them?
@bfgreen
That might be a possibility.
@mikeflstfi @bfgreen not my style (bronze), beautiful nonetheless.
@mikeflstfi cool watch
@Tacleja
Thank you!
these are beautiful! @mikeflstfi
@mikeflstfi really like the blue one. It’s a shame I don’t wear watches any more.
Hope they find good homes! 😊
@mikeflstfi That red watch is gorgeous. It reminds of the one I bought my dad many years ago. He wore it until it fell apart. It's such a smart style too.l, I love that face style. The blue is also beautiful.
Very nice! The blue is gorgeous.
ICYMI I teased this next watch build a couple of weeks ago. I got the parts in today, so I hope I can get some pictures of the completed watch with the option of one of two different dials.
I may have to wait until I get back from visiting the kids, but again, keep an eye out. #watchmaking
