Long before most of you were born, the Rolex replicas that were available in the late 1980's were quartz-based watches and thus didn't exhibit the characteristic "sweep" that was associated with Rolex. Obsessed with the vintage Rolexes that we saw in an issue of GQ magazine, my friend and I sacrificed our Rolex quartz replicas to build Rolex watches with sweeping seconds hands. This is the result of our labour:
It is a Timex that was transformed to a Rolex using the coronet from a replica dial and Letraset letters for the Rolex text on the dial. The watch is more than 20 years old. The watch was also "vintagized" so that it would resemble those beloved Rolex watches we saw in GQ magazine.
My name is Superlative, and I'm an original Rolex modder.
