Ofrei is selling the bracelet alone close to 500USD. Why not consider getting a used gen SMP instead? Your case still have wrong He valve, further mods required, you will end up higher than just buying the gen article.
Ok... Just get a loupe for spectacles wearer. It looks like a headband with the mag glass in front, very similar to those protective goggles on chemistry lab.
You get extra benefit of bifocal sight too~.
subdial spacing is different and you will have trouble aligning date window. Plus that extra flyback hand won't be functional anyway.
PS: IMHO it will be wiser if you just got for 3717 with Asian 7750.
Only reluming. Yes, the original out of box is really nice. Let me know which model you are looking for. So many combos for HBB at the moment. Mine is SS Tuiga, Brushed ceramic bezel.
Have a great time today. Just came back from another party
Anyway, yes, please post the pics.... and @addirk: I think I can fix your PAM hands, no problem Let me know when you are free, we can have a mini GTG.
@cf: yes, we can have another one soon
For me it's a Submariner (modern)... modded, out of box or gen. Don't know why it just never calls me. The SSD comes close to this too.... lucky thing I swapped the insert immediately after I got the rep.
On the other hand, gimme a vintage Sub/SD Rolex and I will think totally the opposite.
i use the bottom one too... works perfectly and never broke a single crystal (have removed many crystals) small to big... Biggest die on mine was 40mm, smallest is 12mm. and there are 2 types. one flat, another with "cup".
I have received the case only on this piece. It has different serial number that the old one, pushers are slightly "bevelled" at the side, making it look more refined. Tube is larger than the the old SMP Chrono. Both rep crowns from the old one and gen crown won't fit still. Case to be of the same dimension as the old version. Crystals are interchangeable and bezel construction is the same.
I would say it may very well be coming from the same factory, only with updated dial. I didn't get the bracelet though...
No AR on this piece too
