Big congrats @lberti!! Your wait has been rewarded. A wonderful watch I love so much. Enjoy it so much. Hagwe. Abel
I cast the net in Sept 2021, waited patiently, and then caught a big fish in June this year.
The catch was a Kudoke 2 with a bright MOP dial. It still felt like just yesterday.
Pictures taken this morning with the sunrise.
Have a very nice weekend, everyone!

This is beautiful! Is this the Kudoke Bauhinia model? Or a different model with a MOP dial? And congrats!

Thanks and this is a special order piece.
The idea indeed came from the K2 Bauhinia model with a black MOP dial. When I heard about this model, all pieces were sold out. I am a sucker for MOP dial, so I was quite disappointed in missing the release. Then a collector friend encouraged me to contact Kudoke directly, which I did. I was able to make a custom order and I chose the white or bright MOP, to be a bit different than the Bauhinia model. Mine is the second K2 with a white MOP. Thanks 😊
That Kudoke 2 is a true gem!
Definitely something to consider for one of the coming fishing expeditions 😉👍🏻
Landed my catch ;-)) …

Beautiful and some fun pieces my friend
That Resevoir is a jump hour ? Looks so cool 👌🏻
Yes, jump hour …
It’s a lot of fun and if you can get the books they are a very good.
Hello dear Captain!! Wow! Stunning catches! I was greatly surprised with your Mortimer and Blake Reservoir. So charming! Do you collect the books of these popular characters too?
The Moonswatch is a playful timepiece. And I love the vintage Connie and its beautiful arrow head indexes.
Enjoy these catches so much my dear friend! Cheers, Abel

Hello dear Abel …
Yes, I have the books. The artwork and the stories are very good. The background to my photos of the watch are from the books. The Secret Of The Swordfish.
It’s a genuinely charming watch and the Jump Hour function offers endless fun.
I feel the MoonSwatch also is a playful watch and has earned its place in my collection without in any way detracting from my other Speedmasters.

Thank you for your answer dear Captain. How nice to know you got the books!! Interesting characters. I remember reading some of their adventures in my far far youth as I was very ...
... fond of comic books. Regarding watch: agree that the jumping hours complication adds to the interest and charm of the watch.
Interesting to know your view of the MoonSwatch which complements your Speedy collection.
Enjoy these pieces so much my friend. Hagwe! Abel
I’m still a kid at heart ….
The books are good fun and the artwork is superb.
As for the MoonSwatch this one has suddenly gone missing from my collection 😉….
Ha ha ha!! I feel I know what happened to your missing MoonSwatch! Lol!! I still like to re read some books of Tin Tin adventures and enjoyed so much the film too. They are charming characters.
And as you well say artwork is superb.
Keep enjoying so much my dear friend.
Best, Abel
Congratulations Captain on all the wonderful catches!
When the Reservoir piece was first announced, I wanted to get one. I really like the design and I wanted to add a retro graded watch to my collection. However, the info on the website was not super clear. I was not sure if the pieces were sold out already, or not yet available. I just lost track of it. In any case, congrats again! It is a fun piece!
I’m sorry you didn’t get one …
I agree with you about the information on the website.
The reality is that the watch was delayed several times because of Covid preventing the project being completed for many months.
The end result was still worth the wait in my opinion.
Thank you for your kind words.

Ha, that was why.
I am on their mailing list and will look out for the future collaborations and creations. Your “By Jove!!!” is in the running for this year’s GPHG Challenge category. It deserves a nomination at least in my opinion. Good luck to the brand!
The Constellation is the classic…
The other two real fun pieces - the Mission to Saturn looks like a Movember watch, with the mustache 🥸😉 Still to find a place where they have any for sale - and I guess by the time I do the draw might be gone 🤷🏻♂️ The downside of living in the provinces 🤦🏻♂️
Will see if I come across one - the closest boutique being over 100km away…
Is a bit of a disadvantage, though 🤷🏻♂️
