Merry Christmas guys
As a "thank you" to this board, I'd like to offer the Rolex Daytona A Legend Is Born Book as a .pdf file to anyone who is interested
Just sent me a PM and you'll get it.
Have great holidays you all!
Akira
I have 4 of them and won't put them to use.
They come with the fitting tube.
I find them comparable quality to Rafflestime's big crown.
Post in this thread if you want one.
I'll ship it via letter for free
Cheers

I just finished those two and have a third case lying around...but real life has priority now
Watches how they arrived:
The gen as the desired outlook: *pictures taken from VRF, not mine
The modifications:
Case reshaped and aged, edges softened
Athaya 8mm Brevet crown and tube installed
Lugholes drilled to accept genuine springbars
Dial aged and given a tropical brown look
Hands aged
Dial and hands relumed
Pearl relumed
Insert aged
Seconds hand painted - white
Bracelet aged and endlinks modified to take genuine springbars
Sternkreuz tropic reduced in height and installed
O-rings greased
The outcome:
I hope you like them
Cheers
Akira
Ok, let me be clearer then
I've already talked to JMB about the topic days ago and he can do it. However he's not working on watches for the next few months.
So, I'm looking for someone else who can do it in near future...If there is nobody, I'll wait for J to be back to business again.
Thanks for your replies though
...into a bare case?
My first choice is taking a break from watchmaking
Anyone else able to do this?
Not enlarging existing ones, but drilling them into a case that doesn't have any yet.
Please let me know!
Thanks Akira
