😎😆 Gladly.
As mentioned previously, i do not fancy wearing the same watch as someone else, therefore my preference for Vintage Rolexes which have their individual look.  

About 2 decades ago, i had my first hand experience seeing a Prohunter customised Rolex.  This totally sparked my interest in customised Rolexes. Over the years, i have also customised and personalised my Rolexes with laser engravings,  color change on hands, datewheel etc just to be individualistic.  Their pictures have been posted on this thread many times.

This is my latest project which is using my Rolex daytona ref 116520 D series to recreate a modernised rendition of the Paul Newman 6264.   
so what you see here is a 100% genuine Rolex Daytona from 2006 but fitted with a high quality custom dial, manufactured to specs to fit Caliber 4130 perfectly.   Next step (mk2) is to replace the steel fixed bezel with a steel rim ceramic bezel, which i may or may not do.  

you may also be aware of the growing number of custom houses such as Artisans De Geneve, Blaken, DiW, ZIF etc….creating skeleton Rolexes, carbon cased, quartz case, acrylic case Rolexes with various themes and personalised designs.
yup, i am just a private cheapskate version of that for my personal enjoyment only

muayhahhahhahhahhahhah……✌️💪 swee leh….. Rolex Daytona Paul Newman Tribute Mk1😁

🤣😁 No no, you got it wrong.

Prohunter is a Rolex customisation house which is famous for being the first to DLC Rolexes and creating pieces for famous people, celebs, politicians etc….

You can go onto the Prohunter website to see and order those watches you like.

There is no contact of any master to share.  I am my own master of customization

And at least you learn about all these things from me in here…..
 

muayhahhahahah😎😆😆

You can go to Blaken website to play with some configuration too

Many many years ago, i had a similar strap made by a girl in SG. Pretty good workmanship. I used it on my gold Sub.  
she only charge me $35. 

One advice is not to use Shell Cordovan as it is usually too hard and heavy.

Instead you can try using a 1.8-2mm thick top grain veg tan leather.  It is strong yet supple and flexes and ages very well.  
 

have fun with your Longines Admiral
