Announcement/Shipment updates

Hey guys, just wanted to check in and thank everyone for the recent sales. The inventory posts I’ve been doing seem to have been received really well, and I’m very grateful for all of the continued support.

I’m currently out of town visiting my plater again and working alongside him on a few client projects. This is also my first attempt at sort of “bringing the office with me” while I travel. Unfortunately, I’m without some of the materials/tools I normally have, and the only UPS location available to me here is a CVS Access Point. I’m just not comfortable dropping off your $3,000 watches there.

Because of that, I’ve decided to hold the remainder of my pending shipments until I’m back home and can ship them through my normal and safe UPS location. I realize that means a slight delay for a few of you, but I’d rather keep your watches safely with me for another couple of days than take an unnecessary risk just to get them out the door sooner.

For those of you waiting on shipments who have been patient and understanding with me, I really appreciate it. Thank you.

My first ever QC - Rich Batgirl (Please let me know what you think)

TD: Andiot

GMT-Master II 126710 BLNR 904L Steel RICH 1:1 Best Edition on Jubilee Bracelet JH3285 (Free Sprung) V2

$665 before shipping
$701 after shipping

I can’t post in ReptimeQC due to low karma :/

Please any recommendations help.. to me I feel like I got a very very good Rich Batgirl with the 12 marker not being as high and close to the minute markers as usually so I got lucky.

[WTS] [USA] KTF Daytona Le Mans Oysterflex

I’m happy to say this one is available once more.

This KTF Daytona Le Mans was originally snatched up almost immediately from my last inventory post, but the client changed his mind at the last minute and decided to go with a different piece instead. So, back into inventory it goes.

This is one of my KTF builds, completely assembled and finished by me. The Le Mans is my most notable line of watches and sells out faster than I can make them.

It’s already completed, so there’s no commission wait time on this one. It’s finished, tested, and ready to ship.

KTF Daytona Le Mans, Oysterflex
$2,985 shipped

Feel free to message me directly if you’re interested.

First rep: VSF DJ 41 - Blue Motif Dial

I saw this DJ41 from VSF up for sale from Kensington Timepieces(Emerson) the other day at a pretty decent price. Paid Tuesday, shipped yesterday. Arrived today.

I am quite satisfied with this piece. Will definitely be ordering from Emerson again.

What do you think?

Also, will post an on-the-wrist pic once my adjustment kit comes in today so I can take a couple links out.

[WTS] [USA] KTF Daytona Le Mans White Gold

Edit: SOLD! Please reach out if you’d like me to recreate this exact watch for you

Hey guys, for sale today is this gorgeous KTF Daytona Le Mans.
I actually made this one for myself and had every intention of keeping it, but I’ve decided I want to make some room in my personal collection for more rose gold pieces, so this one is up for grabs.

Since this is one of my personal pieces rather than a new commission, I’m offering it for $2,500. A KTF Le Mans would normally be $2,985, so someone gets to save a few hundred bucks and skip the wait for a build slot.

As with all of my KTF pieces, this was built entirely by me, including parts sourcing, refinements, alignments, a complete movement service, case and bracelet refinishing, regulation, waterproof testing, final assembly and QC. It’s finished and ready to go.

Someone Tell me I am wrong

This might be the best-looking Datejust configuration Rolex makes.

The dial in direct sunlight is honestly insane, and the fluted bezel/Jubilee combination is impossible to beat.
I’ve had multiple people ask me if it’s genuine and, honestly, that says enough.

Would you wear this every day, or is the Datejust too “old money” for you? 💭

KTF Yachtmaster

Just recently completed this gorgeous YM for a client, and couldn’t resist sharing it with you all. I usually don’t get to share the private KTF commissions publicly, but this one I can.

It’s Gen weight, yellow gold plated, and one of my personal favorites to do. Full specs available upon request if you’d like me to recreate this for you.

At capacity; pausing new service orders temporarily

Thank you for your understanding. I still have a few watches left available from my recent inventory post, for those of you who want to get something I’ve worked on.

I will make another announcement once I re-open services.
