BlackBay on leather received from Toro just 30min ago! What a quality piece this is!!!

I hope so! The 1655 cartel case with the crown guards ground down is acceptable. That's the one in my signature. It has the gen style crystal/bezel mount, so it will take any of the after market bezels. It is the easiest 6542 in my opinion. You order it with the movement you want, refinish/change the dial (I use the water-slide decal to refinish), add the red/black date wheel overlay. It all fits as it came from the factory, so less modifying is needed. To my eye the Tiger 2 case has a better shape. Less modding to the case, will take ETA 28xx or DG3804b with no additional modding, but it does need the larger diameter dial. I'm in the middle of this build as we speak, and had planned a write-up next week sometime, along with an announcement. I now have the coin edge bezel and retainer to compliment the insert, all to gen spec and all made in the U.S.A. I hope to be ready to supply them by the middle of next week, take pics, etc.

That is a beauty mate! Where did you get her?

Not at all! The watch will look gen to 95% of those who see it on your wrist. Wear it till it dies on you, then "bin it"..........

I don't think this watch worth any modding. There's $10 DG-2813 inside, most probably, from Nanning factory, because GZ Dixmont DG-2813 visually is way better movement. It's low beat, 21,600 bph, real Rolex has hi-beat mov't, 28,800, so, it's main giveaway. There's many other flaws, like crownguards, pearl, etc. If you paid more, than $120 - you was robbed, mate. And don't forget - there's no such a thing, as "waterproof replica". Need serious work to make it waterproof.
