  6. Question about CG mod.

    in Watch Repair & Upgrade

    Posted

    Alligoat is exactly correct. Peruse the Rolex forums on Timezone.com or the photo collections on Antiquorum.com & use those as your reference. The trimming required depends on which rep you have, which watch you use as a reference & the look you are after. It is not science.

    even for diff. reps,

    the goal is approximately the same, isn't it? ;)

    I think there is only 1 single goal.

    Who really cares about the geometry to the Nth degree.

    Even Rolex crown guards vary. So you're trying to hit a moving target. Since you're pretty good w/ the computer, why don't you take some pics of gens and show us.

    But always keep in mind, a rep is always a rep. You can make it look better and closer to the gen, but it's still a rep. What you're really trying to do w/ the cg's is make them look as close to the gen as possible. A few years ago they would surround the crown, so to speak. And it was a dead giveaway that your watch was a rep. These days they're much better and only require a little bit of trimming on the inside to get them close to the gen. I recommend you read Gioarmani's post at the top of this section and get to work modding your cg's. It's really pretty simple and your biggest liability is screwing up the keyless works when you pull the crown/stem from the movement. Good luck.

    if you really enjoy the game, you'll care about it.

    certainly you don't at the moment.

    Regards,

    what's perfect?

    what's 1:1?

    what's imperfect?

    what's almost the same...

    I think in this world with Physics regarding questions on dimensions, lengths, angles, thicknesses, etc..,

    we should have standard numerical answers to all of these questions.

    hi nightstroker,

    last night I paid US$0.7 to have the bracelet fixed on the street. :p

    "Make sure that you have more links on the 12:00 side of the bracelet than the 6:00 side when you are done....this way the clasp will be centered on your wrist when you are wearing the watch...."

    yes, the guy had done it right for me :D (7+2 hidden on 12:00 side, 6 on 6:00 side)
