    You might be able to still get those hands through one of Bills authorized assemblers. If not, Noah Fuller at 10watches sells all white and all black ladder hands. If you want the orange minute hand, you'd have to paint it yourself and relume it, or have someone do it for you.

    Sorry for my ignorant question but which models is that and where can I get one? Love it! Still relatively to the watch world.

    Hi -

    First of all, welcome to the forum! Hope we can help you out...

    This is one of Bill's earlier watches, based on the classic Seiko diver watches, with bead blasting on both the case and bracelet, as well as a wonderful engraved bezel. It hasn't been available for around 3 years now, if I recall correctly...

    it's a custom seiko 007 dive watch for the base with Bill's dial, hands, and bezel insert.
    Take care,

    This watch was comissioned by Kelly Rayburn, and blasted and assembled by me with MkII parts which are no longer available. The photo, even though not marked as such, is Kelly's.

    Nicely done on the bead-blast finish. Does it really look that satin/pewter in real life? Either way, a job to be proud of and to take credit where due

    Hi -

    I see the difference to what I have: nicely done.

    Here is mine from an older post...

    So unfortunately I'll never be able to recreate it, huh?

    I can't keep from staring at it!!!
