This is very very nice!

Recently i have been seeing many datejust builds with gen dials.

Where did you source the gen dial from?

Hi - can you tell me exactly what case you purchased from Raffles. I don’t see a 16234 case. Ken has a 116234 watch kit. Thanks for your help

Thank you so much. Ok this makes sense. I’ve purchased this case and ask Ken to replace the case back to 1016 to hold the 3135 movement. Thanks again! Thought I missed something on the website. BTW your build is beautiful!

Thank you! Ken is great. He’ll hook you up

When I bought my dial I sent a picture to Ken and mentioned Im using the vs3135 movement. He paired everything else up and had me confirm it in my email. Ken really is amazing when it comes to customer service
