Just a quick heads-up in case a 3Ter is interested.  Ran across Kent's sales ad on Timezone this morning.

Wild looking watch!

Just to refresh memories... Kent's been doing custom work for Berg for a quite a while now.

While it is very nice...I prefer the original black ORSA...and I amd not sure what he means by only 2 colors.  IF you consider black & white colors, there are 3 colors.  If you do not consider black & white colors (which they are not) then there is only one color.

At any rate....hopefully, this is a sign the Kent Parks is "back".  He does fantastic work, but there appeared to be some problems for awhile!

Ken, based on the verbage in the listing, my guess is he is unloading some of his personal pieces which he isn't wearing. Not sure if he's back...

Danny, my info is all secondhand, but as I heard it Kent gave up his day job and started doing watch work full time. This didn't work out for him and I believe he's got a day job again.

That's it...

Further...he was so swamped that he was not taking work or even responding to emails about work on hand.  Some of his work, as I understand it, was turned over to Duarte....none of this is meant to be negative towards Kent.  He does outstanding work....but we all get overwhelmed once in awhile.

That is the report I heard as well.  Glad he was able to find a balance.

Sorry Danny but Kent hasn't done any custom work for Berg in a Long Time and I will leave it at that   I highly doubt Kent has Orsa Watch's permission and that the parts used on this particular "Custom"is a Orsa/3T LE! :(
