Yes. Game over for me. These projects were started in 2005 and have now 12 years in the making. Results can't get better than this. Investments were serious in time, sourcing, mod and a gathering of skills, not only mine (thank you Stephan, thank you Gordon, thank you Ross). 6152, with old eb. Cortebert / Rolex, cal. 618 (among other special features as a 1/1 double bezel custom made etc..) 3646, with old eb. Cortebert / Rolex, cal. 616 2533, Idem Photos are crappy, but I am not very good at it. After all these years the irony is, I find each one of them huge and less and less wrist time. I am considering to let go of the 3646 for a grail vintage Phong Blancpain FF no rad dial. In the meantime enjoy and Merry Christmas to all. A big cheers to all the mod pioneers that shared along the way and to the friends I made here from 2004 on.

Here's another watch you don't see everyday! The latest Roger Dubuis Knights of the Round Table. Just fitted an aftermarket rubber on Easy Diver Deployant and have a blue gator on its way after being created by Mario (Orloff) This beauty will be up for grabs in a couple of weeks upon my return from Dubai!

A 700 crown and tube would be ok for a DRSD, but a 702 crown and tube is correct for a GWSD. By the time the GWSD came out, the 700 crown and tube had been replaced by the 702 triplock assembly. And of course anything that had been serviced could easily have a 703 crown and tube.

Just noticed the scratch at 11! Polywatch when I get home should sort it [emoji6] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so it seems they don't know how to handle it that well, I'm gonna get it done by ssteel. Thanks for your replies Al, it was much appreciated! Cheers [emoji482] Freddie Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No sir, bestreplica.sr is not a trusted dealer. For many reasons I would not buy from any site that is not a trusted dealer.

Not sure how readily available the parts are for the DSSD.. If budgets and/or availability if gen parts are a concern, I’d go with a 16610 build. JF 16610 base. Send off for movement service and maybe some gen movement parts, gen bezel insert, gen crystal, gen crown, All in under $2000 and very hard to tell apart from gen. Ill post pics of my latest project from our very own meiskiped

The famous “Black Hole Effect” only with gen crystal Rolex car

I've always wanted this watch and finally one was offered to me. I can't believe how this watch holds up to a genuine Rolex 16613. I am lost for words in terms of the accuracy and feel of this $700.00 (base price) watch compared to a $8500.00 Rolex 16613. I got the watch, which badly needed cleaning and polishing, with a gen crown and tube. It now has the following mods -Gen bezel assembly complete -Gen crystal with AR Gen crown and tube refinished to Rolex specs. I was surprised to see every single number on the watch is correct. Clasp says 93253 instead of 93250 commonly seen on two tone reps. The lugs have correct numbers 16613 and Z serial. I believe this is the holy grail V3 version but if anyone sees anything different do tell! Anyways here's a few pics shot on iPhone 6s

Wrong print on the dial. Totally off in every aspect. Case looks more sloppy polished too if gen. I'd need more and better all around pics of it to determine. Gens for reference (of varying age):
