Here we go, that's what I'm talking about!! Some 'unboxing' pictures
Not too much of a franken - the only gen things are the crown and the bracelet. End links are 357, which is wrong (am I right?), but they look semi-ok.
I _really_ love the overall look of the watch. ***'s going to put another link in the bracelet for me soon, which should make it much more wearable (pretty tight right now), but I have the croc strap if needs be.
Size is fine - just the narrowness of the bracelet at the clasp end looks odd right now. Lack of date and manual wind might get to me, but I'm excited right now.
I waited so long, I browsed around for some other things like the box and the leaflets. I've just noticed that the Oyster leaflet has a twinlock on the front, which doesn't tally with the triplock on my watch. Boo. I didn't spend a lot of time investigating what leaflets came with what boxes, when. I have seen a gen for sale in one of these boxes, so that is possibly correct (not that it really matters).
Next stop - new dial and mod, then new bezel (I'll postpone those for a much later date)
Thanks everyone in the RWG Rolex area. I wouldn't have this without you.
