Dependable workhorse (2824 ETA), not prone to style changes (a timeless classic).....waterproof
Of course, mine is a Franken with genuine dial, hands, crown and HE valve.....
I agree Lello. I can't offer advice on how to remove the inner bezel but I know my watch is on the way to Ziggy and I will have him relume the inner bezel like he as done on the Cousteau's...
No contest, the modded one if you are a fanatic and it seems like you are like the rest of us
I think the CG is one that has had the infamous Flav Silicon mod so I would count on having the CG redone properly if you are in it for the long haul. Too bad they went to all the trouble to use the Jimmy case and didn't use the Jimmy CG.
@Mezz, I had asked Asad to start a new post rather than discuss the merits of both in your Sales thread.
Rob recently completed the mods on my 027A Luminor Power Reserve.
The results are amazing
Work done:
-Relume of dial and hands to resemble aged Tritium
-Installed OEM Crown and fixed the floppy lever
-Installed a Lello 2892 datewheel
Rob recently transformed my 024A Submersible.

Superb results, once again.
