Hello everyone, 

For sale is my REC P-901-01 automatic watch featuring the Miyota 9100 movement with custom rotor. I am the original owner of this watch from the Kickstarter campaign, and I love it, but it doesn’t see any wrist time. 

Watch is mint. I can’t find any visible marks. It was worn very lightly. Very little wear on one strap. Watch was always worn on a rubber strap (not included). 

I have not timed its accuracy, but it appears to be keeping good time. 

Pictures are of the actual watch listed. 

Original packaging included, with bonuses from the Kickstarter campaign to include roll and additional straps. 

Manufacturer description:

The 901-01 is a limited-edition timepiece made from salvaged aircooled-era Porsche 911’s. Each 901 timepiece features the VIN and production year of the repurposed vehicle on the left side of the case and comes with its own storycard which includes an in-depth history of the specific car from which your watch is made.

On the wrist, the 901 combines a one-of-a-kind rounded case with short lugs and a flexible double calf leather strap for exceptional comfort. Every dial is unique and bears its own marks and imperfections, which means that no two 901’s will ever look identical.

Our mission with the 901 Collection has been to hunt down 911s that are no longer road-worthy and recycle their components for use in our timepieces. We aim to recycle the exterior parts and integrate them in the dial with minimal processing, to preserve the unique patina and rugged character of the 901 Collection.

Once we’ve taken delivery of the parts, we start stamping them out into watch dials. The number of dials we can get from each car comes down to the quantity and condition of available parts, which guarantees a unique patina on each dial.

We scrape off any residual paint or primer to expose the bare metal underneath, before carefully applying a thin coat of transparent lacquer to obtain a completely flat surface and create a vacuum – crucial in halting the oxidation process.

We then conduct in-depth research to gather as much history and information on the previous owners as we can, often armed only with the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Simply scan the NFC storycard included in your 901 gift box to discover the full story of the car that became your watch.

As well as featuring a fragment of a 911, the 901 captures the true spirit of this iconic sports car.

And while the recycled dial is the clear centerpiece, numerous other references spanning generations of the vehicle have been carefully integrated in the design of the 901.

The rounded case mirrors the 911’s distinctive shape, complete with the characteristic rear air intake set between the lugs. The exhibition case-back that sits over the sturdy Miyota cal. 9100 features the iconic Fuchs hubcap design, which reveals a rotor decorated to resemble a brake disc.

Opposite the semi-submerged screw-in crown recalling the Porsche’s horn button, a small plaque bears the VIN and production year of the actual 911 from which your watch is made. The 901 features a sandwich dial with five functions to match the original five-dial cluster on the 911, with the watch’s hands designed as replica gauge needles.

At 12 o’clock, the 40-hour power reserve mimics the gas and oil gauge on the earliest 911s, in the form of a rotating disc that changes color as the watch is wound. The month, date and day sit at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock respectively, with the month and day complications constructed as transparent discs with contrasting backgrounds and windows.
