Other than flavor and thickness it’s the same... That’s what she said

No, like frying pan. This is my latest homage to a vintage All Clad. It uses a Silix head and Athaya handle. I custom aged it.IMG_7011.JPG

I couldn't keep Rolex and Panerai as it was way to much money and then i made EPIC mistake selling 201. out of pure remorse i went on a quest to build a replica using genuine dial. then about 2005 i purchased 4 or 5 "super reps" and i went to a old watchmaker that was willing to show me basics. initially i didnt want to learn how to repair movements but just how to do basic stuff. then i moved to hobby watchmaking and and i started doing big watches as they came in to the fashion. there was a good forum called Big Watch Forum and then after it closed RWI was opened on the ruins of that forum. something happened around that time, 2007 i think, however stupid or ugly or unbalanced watch i was able to make i would sale it for top dollar and make some cash. after some time i become better and eventually i moved in to vintage reps. there was a guy from HK named Jimmy Fu who was The Man way before DSN and Mary and Yuki. Actual old school reps cases for vintage Rolex (Panerai was considered Rolex at the time) ware really good. I had 3646 from Fu and it was really good. then people started selling rep vintages as gens and entire thing become hot as a pistol. History that i know and dark secret on the forums was that Fu was murdered over that. later information came out that he was killed in car crash. many years later i herd the story that it was all BS and that Fu is alive and that his new name is "Little Hero" now... who knows! fact are that someone in HK was making superb 3646 cases and that all stopped with 6152. VDB and many others including my self ware using same case sets for Penny Yu (Old School) finally i moved on in to a domain of the fantasy, experimenting with materials and techniques, creating almost steampunk like non existing homages. in my golden days i made about 1000 case sets and today i doint have a single of my watches. such is homage life
