Modded MWB AP Jumbo wristies

[exper]

Here are some wristies of the group ordered modified MBW AP Jumbo's that Rolexfinder organised for all of us. For me the main issue was the silver screws instead of the gold ones. Enjoy !

Also lastly with the GMT

[plaifender]

beautiful. A classic AP and THE classic "royal oak" model. Very understated. Great wrist shots!

Mine is on holiday in germany atm, funny how all the watches seem to have the bracelet upside down. Easy fix just unscrew pins and change

[rytox]

nice shirt and cufflinks in good combination with the watch!!

[fijikid]

Looks very nice. Was getting worried after reading some of the less than enthusiastic responses by a few early recipients. Yours looks just gorgeous. If my blue faced #9 would just make its way outta JFK, I'd be happily wristed as well. Come on mailman! Bring me some love today!

[specialvat]

Anyone spot a difference with mine ?

Thanks to Domenico for the pics and of course his great work.

Just need to fill in the gaps around the bolt heads and I m semi happy

Already got a plan for that, hope it doesn't go the way of the rose gold case mod

Me like sparks that go six feet across the back yard

How much was that cannon pinion fix? Looks great!

Curious to know what can be done about the gaps. What's your plan?

[specialvat]

PM domenico for prices on cannon pinion, and my dodgy plan for gaps is 0.4mm jewellers solder and a pointed tip soldering iron. Ten to one I balls it up, but with paul doing another project on a better dial I ve got a back up.

Guys,

if anyone of you is not happy with his watch....I am interested in a Jumbo....let me know.

Mine finally got here - mailman rang my bell while I was looking at the thread about the very watches! That amused me. Here's a quick and dirty. Overall, a beautiful watch. Unfortunately when you pore over something as this project watch has been pored over before it even gets to you - you look maybe a little too close. I think I need to grind out the bottom side of the bracelet to make it drape a little more. The case shape is really long, leading to some overhang issues if you don't have a wide flat wrist. All in all, it's one of my more handsome watches. The blue's a little darker than the vintage blue I was hoping for. Has a purplish tinge at some angles. Oh well, you can never (and I mean never) have everything in the rep world!

Thanks, Paul, for putting your best foot forward on this project. No one can say you didn't put the time in. Just the shipping part would make me never want to do one of these group deals!

[LeSentier]

Absolute beauty.. First, I ordered a white one, then decided for a black one... I should have opted for a blue one.

Congrats

V nice, your screws look really good - not much gappage

[MADRED7]

I think it looks quite good allthough I am not into blue.

Still looking for the silver/white or black one...if someone dislikes his ...LET ME KNOWWWW

Thx for that link....we allready talked but I am not the blue-dial-guy.

Talked to several others concerning this watch.....can you size the bracelet down to fit a 6.5" wrist????

Seems that many members cannot size their bracelet down...therefor sell it.

Let me know,

Theo

[fijikid]

You can Theo, you just gotta remove one of the permanent links. There's a tutorial about it on the forum somewhere. All you need is a dremel and a somewhat steady hand!

QUESTION:

Is the case construction the same as gen?....case build like a container to put the movement in and press it with the bezel and those screws aginst the caseback to make it waterproof???

Just curious.

Theo

[specialvat]

Bezel is press to fit, case back screwed on. I d like a 1:1 case made but the cash is considerable

@specialvat

Nice mod by domi on the cannon-pin!!

Are you able to post some close-ups of the dialside?

I guess i am going to visit domi in the ffm area

[specialvat]

Hi George,

My phone is new and I cant master the auto focus, so pics are not available.

sorry.

[Katerchen]

never mind dave...

Domi is indeed an artist, heard so much about him

ill have to arrange a date with him and ask what he can do...

At the moment i am planning to do some spatolato veneziano to

improve my flat

Maybe Domi is capable of this work too *grin*

at least i will order a pizza al salmone from him
