I use 1.2mm, then very slightly polish/ lightly sand the fat bars on the trunk to fit. I'd rarther do this than have oversized lug holes, but that's just me.

Made me lol 

cheers

Every single Rolex part has to be logged with serials, photographed and documented, you can't even order some parts in multiples. Many people lost their accounts due to profiteering. It's very difficult to get lose parts and in effect prices soar, grab them whilst you can

Use new bleach too, not stuff that's been siting opened.

Ha loonies think alike I just did this mate..

The casework is insane, what a transformation. Super !

Inserts cans fade for a number of reasons. Even the back side. It's not just from sun/UV exposure.

 

Not saying it wasnt bleached, but I'd like to see a known bleached example (rep or gen) where one gets that shade of fuchsia. It's a pretty rare colour.

Like this?

According to lowes color chart ... Haha the insert game is just as fickle as the rest of it  

I think they 'cleaned up' all the rep stuff compared to what it was. Don't see much for sale anymore..

I tried to manufacture some brass bezels and it never happened due to cost. So I used HR and changed almost every dimension of it on the lathe, turned out nice, but it's a lot of work... May as well seek out a Vietnamese caseset/ Tonny ($600)

The case was totally changed also but that's another extreme makeover, it was a silix case.
