[geyper man]

I`ve just finished to mod my "Noob factory" 16710, I hope you like it:

A classic and my favorite Rolex, this one looks amazing, congratulations!... Please let us know Where you bought the base watch, what mods, Movement? Thanks!

[highoeyazmuhudee]

VERY NICE! this one DOES look BETTER than stock, whats the secret?

[GSmaniac]

Looks like a Noob-Sub-Case as Basement. It looks great but the CG`s are different from normaly GMT Cases.

Noobfactory GMT-master II 16710 as base model (most sellers carry them).

GEN ETA 2836-2 with GMT ICS module.

GEN twinlock 6mm crown.

After market tube from Ofrei.

After market insert from luxurydeals8 at ebay.

All mods done by me, it is true that cg's are oversanded because of a really bad mod job done before (I've done my best to fix it).

Thank you for your compliments guys!

I'm sorry for the pic's quality, thanks for watching!

Now I understand, great job. Thanks for the pictures

Geyper is more than a modder, he's a true artist. I've seen some of their jobs and they are fantastic.

Fantastic craftsmanship, what is your "micro-mill"? I have a small rotary table ordered for my mill (it just shipped) and I am contemplating building a case from scratch. If anybody has some "engineering drawings" for a Submariner case I would be very interested. I don't see why an exact copy couldn't be made that would at least be interchangeable with Gen. Of course, without CNC it might be cost prohibitive but ya never know unless ya try!

[TeeJay]

Fantastic work That's definitely on of my favorite Rolex watches

[redwatch]

Love the step by step photo pictorial! Well done!!! It would be great to see a pictorial of your work bench area, especially for some of the newer modders.

I do like Proxxon products, it's a german company who manufactures hobbycraft tools, this is my current stuff, nothing special:

Proxxon Micromot Precision Drill/Grinder 100W-12V 5.000-2.000 rpm

Proxxon Micromot 40/E 40W-12V 3.000-15.000 rpm

Proxxon Drill Stand MB 140/S

Proxxon Micro Compoun Table KT 70

Great review of the modding phases and above all a GREAT watch.

Wear it well and if you ever consider selling it shoot me a PM.

Nice looking tools. Mine are a bit larger but I can still do some fairly precise work on them.

[freddy333]

Nice work.

[Gabus]

Nice work. I'm beginning (thinking about it at least ) the same project on a Noob Explorer. Assume you used a 24-603 crown ( which I have already ) with the bigger 24-2553 tube assembly. Would the smaller 24-6020 tube have fit without drilling? Any words of wisdom on drilling the case? What size drill bit etc.

Thanks

[geyper man]

I used a 24-603-0 gen crown with a 24-5330 after market tube.

I drilled a <2.50mm hole and maked a new thread with an M3/0.35 mm tap. I don't really know about 24-6020 dimensions, but anyway I guess you'll need to make a new thread into the case.

[highoeyazmuhudee]

WELL DONE

[vlydog]

Things go better with Coke!

A beautiful watch.

Thanks for bringing us along on your incredible journey.

Excellent work.

I've always said this is a nice rep.

My rep vs. gen comparison is here. The rep is very close.
