Explorer II on Oysterflex Damn, missed the memo on vintage Rolex day... need to change.. brb

Just finished, well.. stage 1 at least

Oldie.. but thought Id dust it off. Its funny going from a year of a vintage kick to throwing on something blingy and modern.

Oldie, but still one of my faves.

Just moved to the beach on the southern east coast (See ya midwest) Cant wait to drop this thing in the ocean a few times!

Happy Tuesday. Vac Lumed BB

Just picked this Tudor Oysterdate up from a m2m sale, the case was out-of-the-box clean so I wanted to give it a 30-year hard life look. I updated the sterile crown to an Athaya 702 crown, shaved the crownguards, beatup the case and plexi. stained the dial markers and matte varnished the dial (which appears to be a RafflesTime dial), as well as stained the datewheel so it is more cream than bright white. The insert is temporary and will be replaced because it faded to more of a blue than I wanted it to, I was hoping for a matte grey, And Im not happy with how the pearl turned out. All I need now is the correct caseback to replace the sterile one that it came with, drill out the lugs, and to keep working the case and plexi with cape cod (I went a little overboard on the edges of the plexi, I must have run into a lot of door jams while I was wearing it ). Not bad for a cheap pickup
