Weird Watch Art By Dominic Wilcox
From time-to-time we come across art inspired by, or placed directly inside of, a watch or clock. An watches-dealer reader was nice enough to share with us the work of UK-born and -based Dominic Wilcox, who, among other things, has made wrist and pocket watch dials a palette for artistic expression.Wilcox calls these creations "Watch Sculptures" and they start with vintage wrist and pocket watches that he has acquired. The first step is removing the crystal and replacing them with a tall dome to make room for the small sculptures and figurines that he creates.

Went to get my wife��s watch sized....
Got her a Sea Dweller 43mm for Christmas and she loved it. Went to an AD to get it sized for her and got a BLNR before I left. Couldn't pass up on it.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dear all...Since your are all very knowable people, and I��m a bit to spontaneous, I would like your help to either calm myself or simply to try to save eventually losses.

But did I overpay?
