ArkoN Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) Hi everyone, this is my second Rolex, I really like it. No problem so far with the swiss eta movement. But I did not open the caseback to check if its real swiss eta. I had to sharpen the edges of the bracelet and oil it. Here are some pictures: Edited January 3, 2010 by ArkoN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Hmmm, might want to re-size these a bit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkoN Posted January 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) Ok, I re-sized it :-) Edited January 3, 2010 by ArkoN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 The "zit" pearl is begging for the "epoxy mod" but all-in-all Noobs look pretty good. You got one of the nice ones without the rehaut engraving, same as mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest techlogik Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Bang for the buck..one of the better reps for sure. When ETZ gets it right, they do good. Looks like they did ok by you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArkoN Posted January 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Yes the pearl is the only thing, that looks not that good for me personally^^ Where can I get a WM9 pearl, from BK? Is it easy to remove it? The swiss eta still working very will :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 Its easier to swap the bezel? I have no experience with mods like this and dont want to do something wrong. If you're only swapping the pearl, it's much easier to only swap the pearl All you need do, is pick out the existing pearl with a fingernail, then use a toothpick to dab epoxy round the inside edges of the hole in the bezel insert, then simply press the new pearl into place I find it best to rotate the entire bezel assembly for a few minutes just to be sure the epoxy doesn't lock it solidly in place Really very easy to do, best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
