Hey Guys. Just finished the 217 build and wanted to share, as well as get some feedback on it, and while I had the light box up I also photographed the new updated 127 This is as close to gen as you can get without spending $20k...LOL Here are the pictures: 217 with full modding Natural light picture 127 with full modding Notice the gold-leaf on all text on movement, no more yellow pain! Natural light picture List of MODS: 1. ETA 6497-1 movement with ETA stamped and with damascening pattern on baseplate (this has to be engine turned and rhodium plated as they do not come with the baseplate decorated from ETA) 2. Changed ETA balance wheel for rep. for more gen. look 3. Touch up Noob bridges (rhodium plating is sometimes necessary on some bridges, as they have uneven plating from factory. 4. Changed thin dagger regulator with thick dagger 5. ETA gears 6. Polished ratchet and crown wheel bevels (later replaced with ETA.) 7. Replaced incabloc shock system with Y incabloc 8. Tightened CG lever and recessed pin 9. In some cases shave down the CG so it sits closer to the case 10. Gold leaf applied to all text on movement (127 only) 11. In some cases a crystal change is necesary 12. Replace hands with more gen. spec gold superlumed hands 13. Cleaned, oiled and adjusted (regulated) Thanks for looking

Fact # 269. Rep owners have huge cocks that are maniacal.

ooh, sorry. your request has been [censored] denied! But thanks for the donation

It was a fun little mod for sure The close up shows way more detail than the eye picks up, but I also applied three coats of varnish (one to repair a smudge mid-drying) so I would recommend just two light coats of matte spray to get a lighter effect Unless the watch is in direct sunlight, it just looks matte black most of the time

Luxury lifestyle on a foodstamp budget :tu:

I always like to make sure everything is nice and tight and well lubed before I get It wet. Yes...the same set of principles applies to my watches. Mike

If you will find 1:1 construction 40mm case and CHS , I'll buy it. This for EXplorer II 40mm.

Unfortunately this is a common problem with the sec@6 movements. I think that freddy333 has done a graphite treatment to the movement. Also is there a thread from francisco where he reviewed the daytona movement. Try the search for it, and then discuss with your watchmaker if he could perform the repair. But there is no guarantee that it work. For some watches it works for years, for some only a couple of weeks. That's life...

Yes.

Nope. The Transformer was built on the Noob GMT case. You want a Noob explorer II case. It will take a gen style bezel assembly. Failing that the new superlumed Explorer II case is decent.

With frightened and underpaid workers......downside of our hobby.....nit nice to see.....

Sick, Smoother than barbies snatch! Ill take atleast one 5514.
