Interesting Italian Commando Homage but I question pricing.

I really love the look of this piece but they are very vague on the movement, plus they are all made to order. So is this a guy that had a few dials and cases made up, created a limited amount and tried to put a huge price tag on them?
NZ could make these for us for way less.
That being said I do love the design.

Holy crud. $3800!
Iām not sure the specs on the watch... but it looks like a typical HF build. Custom dial. Custom bezel. Custom engravings on CB.
Honestly .... some of the other custom watches you show me are a little more exciting.

It's like a bad Photoshop example in real life

1,800 beats per hour? I think they left a zero off. If it's 18,000 BPH that would probably make it either a vintage Unitas 6497 or one of the earlier Chinese clones. It says 37.2mm so that would be about right for it to be the standard 16 1/2 lignes. I think that dial looks very poorly done and amateurish myself, I've seen much better custom dials here on the forum. And the case engravings look rather poorly done too. I'm not impressed at all. I think that the design has real potential but it needs LOTS of refinement. It's sure not a $3800 watch in my book. The phone number on the website comes back as being in Florida, USA.

This watch is way overpriced! Looks imho like a microbrand or kickstarter watch for 350$
Case finish, engravings dial construction are poorly done and the movement seems to be not even a swiss 6497.
I bet some members of HF can do better with less costs.
A limitation doesnt justify such a price.

Interesting looking, I like it for the dial color. Unfortunately, the dial color is photoshopped in in most of the pictures like [mention]Emilio[/mention] surmised. There's a bad case of oversharpening and edge artefacts, and non anti-aliased amateurish selections that have been filled in with an almost uniform blue.
There's potential here but not for $3800.

The inscriptions on the bezel kill it

Looks like a mishmash of Ennebi and Mario Paci watches, but with the worst elements of both.
