Today's classic

Here are some pics of the gen rotor vs the rep rotor form the Noob SuperOcean II 44mm. Noob did a good job but the gen is a nice upgrade!

Been playing with paints and colors in some V6S inserts I have and a GMT CHS bezel that I have and came pretty close to the gen look with an easy fix.. have to see how long it will hold or how it looks in sunlight compared to the gen, but if so this is a $8 mod that fixes the shitty V6S plat color indices. This was a few tonight quick but good result in the 15min I spent at it. A 116610 insert that I had kicking around and a GMT next to my gen GMT. The numbers left of the triangle have been painted. Would like some feedback and the 116610 the left side has been colored. With the 116610 I have taken the photo on an angle to show that the original color goes flat unlike the gen that stays kinda bright in low light. So if you see to the top left it's in the shade and still much brighter than the right side in direct light on an angle. Right of the 30 marker is the original V6s color and left is painted. This is just a quickie, will get back with results of when I spend time at it. I know now there are a few fellas who are charging a lot to have them done with real platinum to be close to gen as possible, but this is for those who cannot sink huge amounts into a watch and also something even a beginner can do himself.. simple mods that keep the hobby fun ? Sharing some knoledge for the sake of the lot of us lol

I just finished my project on Stingray bracelet/band/strap. They are available in many colors, sizes, styles. They are the best choice for watch lover all over the world. Final products are all good and ready to combine. Here are some photos:

Yours are very nice too! Thanks for sharing. [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

Maybe these pics will help. I got each one thru M2M. I've had the 165 for a couple years. Both have ETA movements.

I could be wrong, but I think it's because of the clearcoat that goes ontop of the dial. I've seen some gen gilt dials where there is more depth but also some with less or almost no depth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I bought it off from a member in Italy. Not sure where it comes from.

I just finished performing this mod. It's was ridiculously easy. I used some 90% Isopropyl Alcohol to clean the insert first (allow the alcohol to dry fully), applied the sharpie to the insert (didn't really worry about using too much), used a fine brush to smooth out any rough spots, then used a dry (clean) cloth to gently rub away the excess on the ceramic portion of the insert. The hardest part was painting around the pearl in the triangle. End result looks awesome! I didn't take a before shot, however, prior to this mod - while sitting in my watch box, I would look at the dull dark insert color and would be annoyed by how dark it was. Now, it looks like a proper 95% GEN looking insert! @altesporsche you are a genius, thank you sir!

I used a sharpie marker see the photo below, I only have gen inserts in my builds now, so I'm testing this out for the sake of the community ? I have another marker I need to check today, if you want to wait it may even be better. You see platinum isn't a shiny metal it's actually a dull grey that catches light a little different than gold or silver. When you see shiny platinum it's plated with rhodium or pladium etc.. by products of platinum production that have very high reflective properties. For example "white gold" is plated with rhodium for its reflective shine. I have a chrome marker im picking up today that I will try as well and I think given the textured base in the indices it will dull out the bright chrome to a sheen much like the gen color, or so I hope lol anyways I'll post on this later. Doing this as a little project to keep sane lol when I can get away from being a new dad ? Cheers fellas ! Here is the sharpie I used just incase anyone doesn't want to wait lol
