Funny story. It's actually Axl....he asked one of his friends how to spell it and that's what they came up with.

Yes from Stan. I never asked but I would assume 21j. Hand sweeps smooth, but rotor is a little noisy.
Compared to some high def pics on the Rolex site and it's pretty accurate. Crown is a touch off and the lug ends should be less pointy and more rounded off which I can do if I feel motivated. Not bad for <$200. Looks great with a suit and cuff links.

Great looking piece and I really like the strap. Nice of the wife to partake in the hobby with you.
WSO 580's oddly seem to fit everything pretty well. I keep a few sets around and with minor tweaking seem to work better than the end links that are suppose to be on certain pieces. Plus they take 2mm bars without modification. So a good cheap investment.
Bookers Bourbon is one of my Dad's favorites. I quit drinking many years ago so never tasted it but I get him a bottle every so often.
Nice pictures by the way.
Matt built this one for my wife. All gen but the movement. As others stated, you can find good genuine examples online. Just happened that she wanted a mid 60's 1002 and Matt had a gen case set and was able to find this gen dial which is absolutely perfect. To me this is a classy womens watch. Understated and timeless. Out of all the watches we looked at this was what she wanted.
