what is that about?
I am most active at the Homage Forum. Not sure on the rules about posting URLs so I'll just say if you google it, you will find it right away.
I started off building watches that pay homage to the old Panarai classics. I don't build reps but I use classic cases to house a movement and custom dial. I've had a go at painting my own dials, and having custom dials built for me by those who have the equipment to do so. I also have taken a custom made case that came to me completely rough and finished the shaping, polishing, soldering (I hate soldering), etc.
I see a lot of similarities to that sort of creativity here which I find very interesting.
I have uploaded pictures of a couple of recent builds to the gallery area here:
