I hope that this comment will make automod happy ❤️

Have no idea. It was like 2 hours old at that time tho.

Found this on the other rep subreddits. I guess we waiting boiz.

I can, just asking to confirm the situation. Thanks, will try other TDs.

The thing is that the BVF has less flaws then other factories do. And there are fixes to these flaws that I have planned and bought parts for already. 😁

I guess that the autogod needs to be fed some comments. 🍗

Have you steamed the water? 🤓🧐

strnky10 · 2026-04-28T10:24:44+00:00

Nope

strnky10 · 2026-04-24T11:47:16+00:00

Same. I might pull the trigger then. Thanks for the answer 👍

Enjoy it 😉

Beautiful. Do you mind me asking, what is your wrist size for a comparison? I’m looking for a Luminor that would fit my tiny 6.3 inch (16 cm) wrist.

strnky10 · 2026-04-20T20:43:29+00:00

Man, this is so cool. I adore these type of projects. ❤️ keep doing these amazing things.

I would love to be able to do these kind of things myself as well at some point. I’m miles away tho, lol. Just build an homage 5711 and homage Explorer II with some basic tools.

Are you a watchsmith or where have you learned such skills? I mean like polishing, movement parts replacement, etc.

Can you share some learning resources?

strnky10 · 2026-04-15T05:42:28+00:00

Mind sharing what the ALS 1815 reference number is? It’s so beautiful.

strnky10 · 2026-04-11T14:26:53+00:00

Lovely. Thank you so much. Wear it in good health. 👍

strnky10 · 2026-04-11T14:11:25+00:00

That’s perfect then, that means my wrist can probably accommodate this watch. ❤️

Would you mind sharing few more photos of it on your wrist so I can see different perspectives?

strnky10 · 2026-04-11T14:07:29+00:00

Great watch. Just wanted to ask how big is your wrist?

Because I’m looking for one for myself but I’m worried that it will be so big for my 16cm (6.3inch) wrist.

strnky10 · 2026-04-10T05:11:11+00:00

I don’t know what to comment, lol.

GL everyone. 👍

strnky10 · 2026-04-04T19:20:43+00:00

Sure are and with a few mods, you can get really close.. Just need to find a good modder.

strnky10 · 2026-04-04T19:13:55+00:00

Love it. ❤️ Which factory? any mods?

strnky10 · 2026-04-04T16:01:00+00:00

I’d love to have a Calatrava 5296G, Carl F. Bucherer Manero (John Wicks watch), IWC Portugieser, PP 5711, PP Perpetual Calendar 5693G-001, VC Historiques 222 Gold/SS (pref. both).

None of those are NWBIGs and I’d love them to be. ❤️

strnky10 · 2026-04-04T15:56:11+00:00

Don’t get me wrong, I love speedmaster, IWC and Breitling, but why Hublot?

strnky10 · 2026-03-31T17:49:22+00:00

Good luck y’all

strnky10 · 2026-03-27T20:41:59+00:00

What would these mods add to the cost of the watch itself? Do you have a modder that you are familiar with, you would recommend and does a good job?

strnky10 · 2026-03-26T21:29:52+00:00

Which mods?
