WD1863 meets Silver 1969

Originally I wasn’t too moved by the 1969 but when I saw the silver rep, I had to get it. I had a Wd1863 and PD1766(silver machined bezel) sitting around and I’m glad I settled on the WD. For me the black/silver bezel breaks up the endeless silver the other case would have offered, not to mention the PD1766 is too large for the dial and the 33mm spacer was too small for the Pagani case. Very happy with this watch, love to see everyone else’s builds with this Silver 1969!

Mission on Pepsi

Just got into Modding, and I’m Hooked. Saw the Pepsi Pagani and knew I wanted it. At first I was going to go with a Neptune but after actually looking at the Mission on earth it made way more sense. Keeping up with the Pepsi/ Nautical vibe I saw the Band while just scrolling on Ali and figured it would complete the project. Very happy with this watch, this may be my first post in this Sub but I will definitely have more to come!

An update to my custom Margiela collection

I appreciate the positive comments from my first post, so I’m back with another. Did a few more customs since my last post. Im out of 750 soles now, so I should be slowing down a little. Still have a pair of Black ace highs incoming and probably 2 or 3 random pairs depending on price. This was my first time custom fitting a pair that were a size 40 into a size 41 with the Blue Wrestler Gats and Future lows. At 200 each I couldn’t pass on the price and figured why not try. Wasn’t sure about the gum 750 soles with the white future low’s but I’m starting to like them. The Blue long strap gats would have gotten a Dyed Navy 750 sole but the white works well in my opinion. The burgundy pair surprised me the most, I think they look way better with the sole and lace swap. Was going to do something different with the Red Circuit’s but the 750 soles look great. Also threw in a shot of my different Types of GATs and my Marant customs, Wine and Cognac.

Can you tell I’m not the fondest of lows lol.

I know the purist may hate this but…..

I know a lot of people may hate what I’ve done…. But hear me out. I have been into customs since 03 Freshman year of HS. As the years progressed I got into pushing the envelope with my skills. Got into sole-swapping around Covid. These days I do a fair amount of High end brand sole swaps. A lot of the shoes that interest me are the older high end models models from several brands. Downside is a lot of older shoes soles start to separate and deteriorate but the upside is it’s time for a swap. Starting out with BBall sneakers then getting into runners comfort of most high end shoes suck to me. With that being said, a bunch of shoes I like would need to be reglued regardless so it works perfectly with my imagination and skillset. Getting into Margiela started with futures and me not having enough to pick them up. Fast forward to having adult money I could pick up the pairs I liked and make them comfortable. Breathing new life into my shoes and making them stand out from other people while being able to wear them for years to come is Dope to me. Just wanted to share My collection with the community.
