Had an order for another Rolex pen and have been saving these two blanks for a while. The customer gets to choose which one he wants. The Lotus with the diamond bezel is more expensive but this customer never gives cost a care. He owns 3 or for Imperials and 3 or 4 Lotus's of mine and boy am I glad I had these blanks because he asked for me to make either one for him. My thanks to Gary Nichols (CaptG) for these wonderful blanks.

YES! I have the time!

It's five o'clock by my watch, so I believe I will! Can I get YOU one, Roy? I think you've earned it.

Nice Lotus!

Tom, I'm sure you saw these blanks next to the lathe when you were here, only took me a year to finally turn them

Andy wish I could take you up on a nice LARGE cool one. I see on your majestic you have the clip over the face. I though of that but discarded the idea. What was the customer reaction?

Mark all the work is done by the blank maker all I did was turn it. CaptG makes the very best watch blanks, contact him and you won't have to be jealous anymore, a little lighter in the wallet but oh so nice.

I'm hoping the customer does also, with the diamond hours its a few dollars more:biggrin:
 
Roy:
I have gone back and forth on the clip about a dozen time. I've put it all over the place and so far, I think it looks best "just left" of the Rolex emblem. It may move again:)
 
As you can see by the photos so have I, I put them just to the left for some, just to the right for some over the left side just over 9 O Clock for others and all customer reaction is keep it off the face..
 
Roy, You made some gorgeous pens!. As usual, Gary did a beautiful job on the blanks! I really like the Rhodium/Black Ti components with the polished nibs. The Rolex dials with the diamonds look great!! Outstanding work...hope you sell them for a great price !!! Regards, Doc:smile:
 
Never will get tired of looking at these! I've got a few of Gary's blanks (including one specially made one :wink:) and he does amazing work. They both look great Roy.
 
Some great looking pens Roy, but am I seeing something wrong on the last picture. Looks like Imperial cap with lower Lotus pen barrel.

Who sell those clock blanks, I started to create my own one, but find out that bending the pieces is not easy as it looks
