Hi guys Just some pictures and words now my project is complete .. I just LOVE it. The road has been hard but it's rewarding to have such a great piece on my wrist. Now the next step... A gem of course. It will come. It's too damn good. I wanted a Franken GMT 116710 at maximum half the price of the gen.. It's done. Here are the specs : - Noob V3 correct case set & random serial : 350$ - genuine full bezel set, insert, hyrtel ring etc .. 650$ - genuine AR crystal and gasket : 350$ - genuine 704 crown & tube : 150$ - genuine dial : 350$ - genuine hand set : 250$ - Yuki 3135 : 350$ - Misiekped Magic work to convert it to 3185 : 700$ - LF band links w correct SEL stampings + Noob V3 perfect clasp : 100$ Total cost around 3200$. A little bit more than half the gen... But almost gen... And serviced, regulated, wonderful work from Mike... Really THE man. Some pics ... I'm very happy.

New shoes for my 312 came in!

Try Sprite or 7-Up instead. It's not so acidic when you blow it out your nose while bazooka-barfing! Hope you get to feeling better soon. I'd rather get punched in the fact than throw up. I just HATE throwing up....

Doxa 300T US Divers on a new Doxa Beads of Rice Bracelet Love the watch, but I really like that Hoya hiding behind it !!

I think Hublot is way too recent to be in that circle. If you ever visit the Patek museum in Geneva you will know what I mean. These early watchmakers were making works of art with tools with which we would hardly manage to change a strap today.

You'll need a letter from the Sovereign and a blessing by the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Bad cell phone pic... Gilt, tropical, faded and patina'd...

Turned out well. It was very straight forward. I had just the tool for the job. Much nicer feel to this crown... it is used but in pretty good condition. Thanks again.

The statement following this is true. The statement preceding this is false.

Patina for me today...

PUGS IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!! All Hail Pugwash! wait.... "who has the best Sub"?? BAN!!! PS: I have the best Sub.

Looks aftermarket to me. With very few exceptions, I would not generally purchase Rolex parts from anyone I do not know &/or from someone that does not have a long, established track record of dealing in authentic Rolex watches/parts. If the seller is on ebay, make sure they have at least 100 previous Rolex sales & no less than a 100% seller rating (99% is fine only after they have sold hundredS of Rolexes &/or Rolex parts).
