I have one Sharkey 6105 enroute to have the dial & hands swapped for Seiko 6105 aftermarkets.

I actually had it made, it really was a long process and not sure I would do it again . At least 6 months and near $600 worth. I think though between Christmas and Covid 19 the maker probably got slowed down. But still.

I remember this dial, which I believe the forum have talk about it some time back! Hand painted I believe, and is pretty. [emoji3]

Look at it in another way, good things are worth the wait and especially handcrafted stuffs will usually take up more time, not like machines produce.

Handcrafted builds are usually unique from the creator or special make for you. So these piece are worth the wait, IMHO. [emoji4][emoji1]

Cheers & enjoy.

Nice dial.

I was selling my already painted Warhammer miniatures for 60€ back in the day [emoji848]

Time to redirect my energy to something more productive.

No $600 all in. I bought the watch $160 used and forward it to painted dial who made the dial specifically for me based on Van Goghs Starry Night $350, Install $60 , Shipping times 3 from seller to Dave for movement check, from Dave to Painted Dials and from Painted dials to me.
