    Rolex watch w/ Rolex box under constuction

    Thank you all so much, I´m just happy with the end result, glad you liked it too! I am also attaching a build picture I left out, just to show that I actually built the red tag seal too! :-) To Rhaven Blaack: Thank you! :-) Really! If you think people would be interested I can surely turn it...

    Rolex watch w/ Rolex box under constuction

    Here it is side by side with the original picture found on the Internet that inspired my to get this project going in the first place! From flat picture to a real thing! Well, it makes me very happy! Hope you like it! :)

    Rolex watch w/ Rolex box under constuction

    ...here is the end result!!! A finished watch with box! Every little thing is made of paper (except for the dial glass), the certificates, the booklet, the leather folder, the red seal tag, even the strings and threads, I just LOVE papercraft! :)

    Rolex watch w/ Rolex box under constuction

    I then whent on to build a very complicated inlay for the bottom part of the box, just because I wanted it to look like the real thing. Took some time to make everything fit like I had imagined (and not done any blueprints for). Why make it simple when you can make it hard? :) Anyway, after a...

    Rolex watch w/ Rolex box under constuction

    After gluing it all together it started to look more and more like a real box, and I just love that feeling when something goes from "just paper" to an actual lifelike thing!

    Rolex watch w/ Rolex box under constuction

    And then there was the watch box! Made a quick design of what I had guessed would be a quick build. But, oh no! It was quite hard to make the design go from thought to paper to folding. Started with the lid, and after a while I actually made it all fit together! :-) Also did an inlay to the lid...

    Last thing to do was to cut out the bezel, glue it on and then gaze at...

    Rolex watch w/ Rolex box under constuction

    I then measured it to the right size with the help of the previously built dial and glued it in place!

    Rolex watch w/ Rolex box under constuction

    Then it was time for the glass cover, because I wanted that on my watch! :) Well, plastic anyway. I cut out a small piece from the date part of a duplicate dial and then used that to make a very small plastic piece, made from laminate plastic, that I put between two bigger pieces of laminate...

    Rolex watch w/ Rolex box under constuction

    ...and then carefully attached my blue dial that I made from a picture of a real watch, plus added a small non-working screw-down crown.

    Rolex watch w/ Rolex box under constuction

    So, I decided to make my own Rolex watch from paper with a nice classy Rolex box to keep it in! My design and idea for the watch itself is based on the Fauxlex papercraft watch by Matthew Nicholson, however I have changed so many details (and dimensions) that it feels like a brand new design...

    Thank you all!! vulcan8630: Working on more props, might post in RPF when I have some more stuff to show! :) Rhaven Blaack: New Years 2015! Great idea! Will think about it! :) Revell-Fan: I am actually working on a diorama/display from the whole trilogy, so maybe... :)

    The cap from "Back To The Future II" under construction

    ...except for a tag that I just put there for clarity since I guess there must be some people that haven´t seen the BTTF trilogy (no, really, there must be some, right)! Anyway, at least the finished cap looks similar to the one in the move, so I´m happy with it!! Hope you like it! :)
