For those of you in the know, this watch is actually a grail….best prize at the amusement park provided you don’t like stuffed animals.

I just spent a bit of time browsing the website.

I must say I struggle with the concept.
It's not new that some companies would customize watches, like MAD Paris or Artisans de Geneve. The would make a watch a skeleton one or DLC the case + bracelet etc.

Here I am not sure what is left of the original watch, except the movement. When they remake a plexi case and bracelet of the Royal Oak Offshore, an RM or the Daytona. Or remake a full ceramic daytona (case + bracelet).

It is not really a customization but a rebuild. And then they sell it for £100-400k. I am not sure how comfortable these brands should be with that... It feels really really borderline, a mix of counterfeit (even though I understand we are talking multiple of the original price and not the opposite) and brand/trademark infringement...

If that’s a Daytona then the Fiero is the new Ferrari.
