I certainly wouldnt let go of this one.....

F me !! in which case mate then dont put it in the bezel.... do as S says place it somewhere on the dial at a favourite number or birthdate (assuming that is under 12) or maybe your birthday etc etc But at that money defo no on outside the watch.... Why not try and buy a gen dial to fit yours and have the original and the modified one with your dads stone ..... You might even go for an Omega dial variant that might suit your option better ..

In all honesty mate.... NO !! :)

But be careful of how it would be fixed ? or try and go under the crystal

Every time I see one of these Rolex oldies... I always think of that ref 5510 on eBay.... now that was a story that everyone dreams of.... well maybe not everyone ...well me anyway!!!

Why do you say that you tanned gent ? Is it cos I saw the sine!

I was just reading that there are some new versions due soon so it might be worth hanging on The case size will vary mate as the makers use bigger cases to fit the movements they have... so possibly a quartz will be more accurate...do not assume especially with ladies watches that quartz means less accurate in terms of build details etc... You should make sure that whatever you decide that the feedback you rely on is based on the same version and makers model...

Personally I wouldnt do it at all.... as I dont trust what you give is what you get... (if you know what I mean) But if I did then I doubt a watch would be my choice as it is subject to your personal taste change (in model etc) or from breaking, servicing etc (ie sending it away, others working on it) Can these people do that sort of size for a watch? If so why not just do a big one and a small one (ie necklace and watch) Plus if you are looking to hand it down its another issue... Personally stick with a necklace or other mounting option... like a plinth etc But if you are determined then stick to a non aging model like Rolex etc and preferably a gen or good franken

Mate you could be locked in an empty room and still find a way ..... The only thing I dont get about this thread is that if you could then surely you wouldnt be on here to answer it..? Its like asking gamblers how they beat the addiction in a bookies shop ...... Dont fight it ....just open your heart to your fate..... its too late to turn back... we all know it !!

Thanks Big man I shall peruse with interest ...however I must wait till the kids get home so someone can read it to me :) Thanks for sharing mate

Fantastic work mate...well done.. It is so much better on the wrist when you get hands on and I bet the watch feels even better knowing the work you put into it... And also kudos mate for sticking with it and not giving up.... Today a PO tomorrow the world !!!

Hello mate from Edmond Welcome mate..I am sure you will find this a great place to learn all you need to get the most out of this hobby and make it enjoyable

If I lived in Holland I would be thanking god they didnt But I wouldnt be very grateful to him for making me live there though !!

Put my name down for it...

Better acute than obtuse I say !!

A while back I would probably of had some make or model in mind... But now my answer is ... 'The one on my wrist '

I am always noticing such contradictions with you Rolex guys...of course being one of the PAM intelligentsia I am more able to do so....

pricey

There are 3 versions that count now mate... H maker - as above Noob version - just released 3 series maker (Which may be the ZF maker I aint sure) - thats the one with the gold CP and likely blued screws in movement but I believe this will be updated shortly There are 2 more absolutely awful versions around too both from same maker but one of them has the LP lumed !!

Hello mate Glad to see you stuck around and hopefully will see you around more now

There is nothing to stop you leaving more feedback... and state it as an update to your first FB

At the moment if you do as I suggest then that is not mentioned...as I said it is just a resolution centre...it is not a claim for money back What you do is open dispute in resolution centre which is in the tool bar on your PP page (Rest of this post removed....)
