After going back and forth on it for months, I finally said fuck it and picked up what I’ve wanted for years… the white dial Nautilus.

I know this is probably an unpopular opinion, but I genuinely think the steel Nautilus has aged better than the Royal Oak. It’s cleaner, more understated, and doesn’t scream for attention the second it hits your wrist.
I also don’t really buy into the whole “it’s overhyped” argument. Just because everyone wants one doesn’t automatically make it overrated.

Curious to hear what you all think…
Is the Nautilus still deserving of the hype, or has the internet completely ruined it? 💭

Hello all!

I’ve just received guidance from several of my suppliers recommending that we temporarily suspend international shipments due to recent changes affecting U.S. Customs and Border Protection processing.

As a result, clients with pending projects requiring international shipping have two options:

1. Proceed as planned.
We continue the project without delay. However, due to the increased uncertainty, shipping insurance will not apply. If the package is seized by Customs, the cost of replacement will be the client’s responsibility.

2. Pause the project.
You allow me to pause your project until the shipping situation becomes clearer and the risk returns to a more acceptable level.

Personally, I recommend the second option. Although I haven’t had any seizures to report, proceeding right now would effectively make your order a test case for the current shipping environment. If a seizure were to occur, the resulting replacement process would likely delay your project longer than simply waiting for the situation to stabilize.

As always, China will figure out a way and I don’t foresee this being a major issue long term.

Just purchased last week, worn twice. I'm going to keep my Breitling only for now.

This is in mint condition, looks absolutely stunning in person. CONUS only. no trades.

zelle or PPFF only. Ships from Dallas, Tx. PLEASE pm me if interested. I only respond to PM's.

Hello everyone!

Inventory drop day is finally here.

As always, every watch in this drop has received my Ultimate Service Package prior to being offered for sale. Each one has been fully serviced, refinished, waterproofed, regulated, ceramic coated, and put through my final quality control process before being listed. This adds a flat $480 baked in to the listed price of each piece below.

1. KTF White Gold Le Mans – Sold
The watch that launched Kensington Timepieces. Full genuine weight, white gold wrapped, and hand-built in-house using the best components currently available for the Le Mans. It really doesn’t need much of an introduction.

2. VSF OP41 Silver Dial with Gold Markers – $1,075
A truly stunning watch and, in my opinion, one of the best OP41 configurations ever produced. Clean, timeless, and incredibly versatile.

3. VSF Datejust 41 Green Ombré – Sold
One of the most visually striking Datejusts ever made. This one almost never made it into the inventory drop because I seriously considered keeping it for myself.

4. RCF Day-Date “Money Green” – $1,375
The quintessential Day-Date. Weighted to closely match genuine, fitted with Deep Crystal, and upgraded with a custom CNC bezel.

5. RichF Yacht-Master Blue Dial – Sold
A beautiful rendition of the classic Yacht-Master featuring a deep blue sunburst dial that really comes alive in the light.

6. VSF OP41 Yellow Dial – $1,075
Light, bright, and perfect for summer. An understated watch that stands out for all the right reasons.

7. VSF AP Royal Oak 15510 41mm – Sold
A real treat to bring to this drop. Beautiful green dial housed in an exceptionally accurate case, complete with one of the only correct 15510 bracelets currently available.

8. VSF OP41 Celebration Dial with Kensington Custom Dial – $Sold
One of my personal favorites. This watch features a custom Kensington dial produced exclusively by my dial maker with brighter colors, sharper graphics, and a more refined overall finish. A fun piece that’s perfect for summer.

If you’re interested in any of the watches above, please send a message to the account that posted this listing.

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for the incredible support and overwhelming interest in yesterday’s inventory drop. I truly appreciate every one of you.

I’m happy to say that we’re almost completely sold out. I still have the RCF Daydate, and the yellow dial OP41.

Even better, every watch purchased yesterday has already shipped. If you selected overnight shipping, I made it to UPS before the final truck left, so your package is already on its way. If I haven’t yet reached out with your tracking number, I will soon.

In addition to the inventory drop, I was also able to ship a large number of long-standing client projects today. Seeing so many watches finally heading out the door has been incredibly rewarding.

The changes I’ve recently made at Kensington Timepieces are already making a tremendous difference. Turnaround, communication, and overall workflow have improved dramatically, and it’s allowing me to give every project the attention it deserves.

Lastly, thank you to everyone who reached out to check on me after my last update. Your messages meant more than you know. I’m doing much better.

Have a nice weekend everyone! I’m clocking out and will be back Monday.
