What happened? Can you be specific?

Good luck, what a cool project!

Cool, try it out on a junk hand first to get the feel for it and a loop is your best friend btw, it really helps see the grain

That looks great! My hands were shiny like that too when I got them, not very gilt looking so I used three sheets of sandpaper 400, 800, and then 2000. Literally just a few strokes with the hand down on the paper in the same direction lengthwise with 400, and then switch to 800 and 2000 to finish it off. It creates a gilt appearance, and of course they are way less shiny afterwards. This is the result

Gorgeous Samurai!

The other insert goes better with the 4 liner, win win. Ivan did the relume.

Phew, glad I made the changes then, OCD at its finest Thanks guys

Ok, so I wasn't quite happy with my explorer dialed 6538 when I first recieved it, it was nice but the lume was too white and it looked a bit off for me. The hands also didn't feel right, so here's my second attempt at it, it's been relumed a darker shade and the hands are slightly diff, I also installed a darker insert. What do you guys think, better? First 2 pics are the old lume and hands, next 2 are the new lume and hands and the last pic is a gen.

Absolutely keep the daytona, no question

You're wearing Freddy Krueger socks, are you him!?

I've seen that one a little while back, yes incredible is right! Funny that Simon would be so rude when the exact purpose of the show is to find talent not beautiful looking people

Also to add, as others have mentioned in the past, using this site http://www.watchrecon.com/ You can find specific parts a lot easier than dealing with the weird search function on vrm, just type the part name or whatever in the search bar and voila

That's the best place to get authentic vintage rolex stuff, you'll get to know the main dealers of parts and have peace of mind knowing that 99% of the ads say money back if not genuine or as described.

True! Thanks Valty

+1 looks like the anti reflective coating on a sapphire crystal has worn off it has to be re-ar'd if that's the case..

You are exactly right.. Why bother? I'm trying to save some sod quite a chunk of change and ebay couldn't care less.. A bunch here and a bunch on rolex forums watch out section all report this pos and it's still up at over 7k with an hour left.. I wish the buyer could see all the reports so he could sue the pants off of ebay for not doing a thing about it

I'm a little confused, you are soliciting in someone else's thread and offering a service to validate authenticity of watches which we do for eachother here for free

Very nice, feels so good to get them back assembled and ready to wear! Enjoy
