I bought a titanium spork case from Namoki, it was the cornerstone
of my trying to make the best 007 that i could for myself. Drilled out
lugs, and lightweight, and carving titanium is easier than carving
steel, it feels softer and more forgiving. I minimized the case and
made it as flowing and voluptuous as i could. That's the way i like them
Duarte Mendonca assembled the pieces for me, i had the spork dial
and hands in a chinese bronze 6105 case for 3 years or so, but didn't
wear it much, i like watches with a shorter wheelbase. I like this rendition
way, way better, way more compact, and svelte, and the spork dial with
its outlandish lume just really gets to shine.
i think i've got myself a winner here. With an nh movement, if the seals
ever failed on this watch, as a dive watch, the worst of it would be replacing
a very replaceable movement...so, this is going to see a lot of water
come summer. I'm glad Namoki made such a modifiable case. This
has already become a new favorite.
And say, if anyone wants the bronze chinese 6105, well, i really minimized
that case too, took the crown guards off it, a great candidate for doing that,
as it's not even a Seiko....If the normal 6105 dimensions feel a bit large for
your wrist, you might like this one, all it needs is a dial, hands, movement
and chapter ring...i'll donate it to the first responder. I wore it for years,
let's see what you make of it
free shipping to the U.S., you buy it a$36 plane ticket if you want it flown to you
Thanks all,
Peter
