They just opened a brick and mortar shop in my city. I've been there a bunch of times already.

Thanks for the coupon!

Another question:

how thick can the dwo be, before it will interfere with the dial?

standard dwo's from the cartel are .004 inches thick. I found a good metalic card stock that is .008 inches thick.

Does anyone know if this will work, or is it too thick?

not really.. but to me they were huge.

actually looking at it and looking at the photos is different. i can't stop looking at it on my wrist and thinking wow what a small change but what a big difference. weird, i know.. but satisfying and i'm happy. lol

Such a little thing but what a big difference!

Today:

Sorry for the horrible lighting on the first pic. It was taken last night indoors..

Thx for looking!

WOW!! What else can be said? Tremendous build man, congrats!

Thanks for sharing, put a smile on my face on a day that is not going so well!

Here is Ronin's 1665 Rail that now has a happy home on my wrist

Yours looks friggin great!!!!

Thanks for the great comparison!

Dammit now I'm thinking I need a hulk..

Looks fantastic bro!

I have to say JMB is such a great guy! You'll get to see your overlay in at least one of mine once I get my butt in gear and get it done.

I also agree pbdad is awesome and a true pleasure to deal with. His vintage lume is the best I've ever seen. He works miracles on these reps we send him!

Sweet 1680 man!

Go for it!

Another photo from pbdad. Once I get it, I will do a proper shoot.

And the lume.

Passed pressure test to 4 ATM

I'm no expert, but I do know that Dee is right on this.

What can I say.. I'm a sucker for patina

Thanks guys! Your kind words make this even more special to me

Like Satan reads the Bible! LOL!!

Here are my only 2 reps at the moment. The others are in pieces and one is on the way home after a face lift.

For a couple of months I had zero rep rolex in my box. Now that was a weird feeling!

Once it lands, I'll post better pics. The photo shown is from pbdad.

Special thanks to Ronin for selling me his awesome 1665 a few months back!

Ronin. Zigmeister. Pbdad. 'nuff said.

Thanks Zigmeister!

Noob 111m:

- CP flattened, polished, & flushed

- Sides of hands touched up

- Relumed dial and hands (burn baby burn!)

- Full movement service

- Y Incabloc mod (yeah baby!)

Runs great with no issues over the last 24 hours. I can't thank you enough for your AWESOME work!

I also did projectologist's "CG mod no one ever talks about" and I think I'm happy with the watch now

I can't wait for this one.

Anyone have a vector of the op logo or the pre-v numerals 12, 3, 6, and 9?

Please direct me to them or pm me your email address.

TIA

wow that looks really good!

Check. Pbdad is waiting for me to send this off once I'm done tinkering

Thanks friend! Your dwo is going into this baby!

I'm on here to learn, just like everyone else. I won't get butt hurt or upset for your observations, in fact your eagle eyes are why I'm posting this thread.

My progress so far..

Gen 16550 case, crystal, bezel that I've been using as my guide:

My rep case from Sead with some work done:

So anything I can improve? Case shape at the lugs? CG's?

Thanks guys!

LOL totally!

Thank goodness we have The Zigmeister!
