Obviously I didn't make the watch itself, but I have a different style to me, so of course I needed to make a custom band.

Don't ask how much it costed me, too much, but plenty of extra material.

If I flip the watch over where the spikes are on the outside, it can totally devastate someone's face with a good backhanded wrist slap. Those spikes are mounted into 4mm thick genuine top shelf leather, so I won't feel a damn thing.

Believe me, I've passively tested it a few times on trees before, I'd rather get punched with brass knuckles than this thing. I've never had to use it on a person before, and I surely hope I never need to.
