Love it!

Very nice! The gen dial & crystal is a killer combo

JB Weld I hope you never want to take the pieces apart... I just use hypo cement for bezel inserts.

I've found Hypo cement to be quite weak when installing inserts, when you want to keep your insert for the long run you need something stronger.

My UPO has chief AR, it's very strong and almost colourless, you can see a pale greeny blue tint in certain angles and it's very focused, not over the entire crystal if that makes any sense! I've handled a UPO with k222 double AR which was very strong with a deep blue/purple tint, this was more gen-like in appearance (judging from photos, I've never handled a gen UPO).

In all honesty either Taka's or Chief's AR will be a big improvement, I haven't seen Taka's AR but if he offers a blue tint then that might be closer to gen, but Chief might be able to offer that too.. I think with Chief's most people are blown away by the sheer strength of it, in some angles it really looks like there's no crystal on the watch!

Ry I would just go for aftermarket double AR, it's 1000x better than no AR + it would be an injustice to not have AR on your watch

Damn that's looking tasty, bro Where did you pick it up from?

Thanks bro! I picked it up in Nov 2008, wore it a few times and gave it to my Dad. He wore it as a daily beater for 3 years and handed it back to me (he now wants something a little different!) I was going to re-finish it but felt the scratches/dings/wear gave it so much more character It's still keeping excellent time too!

Spectacular Like the outdoor shots

That's a very classy looking Datejust Very popular in the 80's I think, Harrison Ford wears a similar one in 'Frantic' but his is a white dial with roman numerals. I wish I still had mine, I went through quite a few, my favourite was a rhodium dial with roman numerals.. I think I might do a build soon..

Harrison's DJ in 'Frantic':

but I decided to try the silver dial out of curiousity, and I love the results, it really does have that 'Classic Rolex look' to it (ironically, I have a book showing a photo of a Japanese tattoo master, wearing the exact same combo )

Would love to see this one bro Have you got a link to another picture that's the exact or very similar combo to yours?

That's a nice collection, taste wise similar to mine

^ Same here, I thought the Asian 2836/clone movements accepts gen parts..

Very sharp and sleek I like it!

Nice, Freddy, thanks for the posts

Nice starting collection, can't really fault the watches at all Nice choices

Very nice work, finishes of the watch beautifully

WOW what an amazing looking watch! I love RG but haven't got a rg watch.. yet.. this looks like it might be the one

Very nice I've had mine for over 2 years now in the same dial as yours (except yours has better dots) and it gets regular wear. Was going to ask about the new Pro2 bracelet but then read HackR's response. Wear it in good health!

In my experience the quartz version reps always use different parts than the 7750 version and they're often not as well constructed or finished. Mind you this is going back a couple of years and I'm not sure if there are quartz chrono reps out there now that use the same cases/bracelets as the 7750 versions.

In saying this the quartz chrono reps offer outstanding value, especially when compared to what you can get at similar price levels from retail outlets And as TeeJay mentioned you can't beat the accuracy (timekeeping that is).

After seeing Rymeister's pics I couldn't resist (and my first wristcheck pic in a long time):
