alvinado Posted May 29, 2010 Report Posted May 29, 2010 THis is my latest aquisition and build. Mods done: 1)Pushed the marker to 7 days as per the gen. 2) Superlumed the 3,6,9,12 markers and hands also 3) Twogeek's super AR. 4) Modded the datewheel with an extra datewheel insert, making it close to gen, even the so call reps with " non recessed" datewheels don't come close! 5) HK Tan croc strap burgundy, the next best thing to gen. Here are the pictures, lazy to take lume shots.. but will take soon. look at the no glass effect: pictures don't do justice. The Clasp: The Crown: The Strap: Some more shots! Look at the super non recessed datewheel! Hope you guys like it..
Migge Posted May 29, 2010 Report Posted May 29, 2010 Great job there Alvin, that datewheel looks stunning...Not even the slightest recess. Takas AR looks amazing as well...

alvinado Posted June 10, 2010 Author Report Posted June 10, 2010 Today I walked into the ad and viewed a gen BP, The lume markers are actually lumed lightly at the markers, and strongly lumed at the 3,6,9,12 markers, so we are all wrong on that! lol..
redwatch Posted June 10, 2010 Report Posted June 10, 2010 Looking good! I love the HKTan strap! Nice choice
