Homage Forum

Been a while.

Started on Repgeek 2006/2007, can't really remember. The time of the Erfurt Combo going to New York and selling boxes of watches at GTGs, Okabum, Ross dials... It was actually Ross stopping that made me start making my own, through Wristcheck and the original HF, the rest as they say is history.

It was a wild ride, dials (so many dials...), clocks, bezels, CGs (both vintage and PreV ), 3-piece dials and plexis, just more and more parts. I got in so deep that I had thousand$ out to suppliers waiting for parts, with the stress that if one of the Chinese suppliers came out with something similar I'd lose my shirt.

So I stopped...

Sold off everything, but made sure that I delivered right up to the last dial, never let anyone down. Sold off nearly all the watches, cash was put to better use for family. Do I miss the builds I put so much into? Sometimes. So if anyone still has anything out of my two watch boxes, post it up, I'd love to see - Alarms? 70s Chrono? Even the early 3646. I even gave away my airbrush..

I kept one though, currently in Sweden trying to get a 150 year old movement with no availability of spares working.

I know and I have followed your steps for many years, I also understand why you stopped and went on.

I enjoy some exquisite and one of a kind parts here, they will not leave me as long as I am in command.

That one has been here for a good while, one of the trickiest I have had on my bench.

So good to see you here!

You are a legend man, thanks for passing by. Some of your stuff is still unsurpassed, pity I didn't make it to get one of your pre-v CG's or dials.
I got one of your 3646 dials though:

Welcome home. How often do/did you wear the repeator? We definitely missed having you around.

Any plans / projects in the pipeline?

welcome back!
proud to have one of your dials in the coming-of-age-watch for my son:






Here the build thread if you are interested:

the legend returns..great to see you back!!

Happy to see you around!

I still keep one of your wooden boxes as my most precious organiser.

Dom! Welcome to our new home. I don't have any watch box items, but I do have a couple of your three piece dials and a priceless mentorship.

Welcome back! Hope to you see you around. Just seeing that username again made me wanna order some dials ...!

I've been into HF for a couple of years, but I've been on Repgeek since 2009 and wandering other forums before that ... so I can only imagine how much parts and builds have progressed since 2006/2007.

I look forward to see these old projects and parts!
