It was fascinating to read about and see the project from its inception through to the completion when you all received your watches. Superb pictures and superb watches. Congratulations and Regards. Kev.

Your watch turned out beautifully. Well done! M4

Jocke, I think you fairly reflect the excitement of a project like this, and the way that little hurdles and frustrations pop up at various times along the route. But the appeal of the final product triumphs over the frustrations. Also how the tension bui...

Thanks a lot for taking us onto the journey! A brown dial is a daring project but from the pictures it looks like it worked out nicely 👍 Dirk Dornblüth is the right person to make such things cone true! Looking forward to seeing them in the real one day. ... 

What a great story and even better pictures! Love the "chocolate bar" you guys ordered too - stunning! Thank you for sharing

Thanks for such a wonderful post and even more incredible project. The results speak for themselves. Thank you for sharing, Jocke! Dornbluth seems like a wonderful brand.

We remember this journey as something special for us all involved still. We are so happy it was possible to do this. Thanks guys. ...
