JohnCocktosten Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Interesting. That orange hand looks a lot more "proper" orange than the version I got on the asian movement version. It was almost bright red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Definitely, a step in the right direction. Needs a more accurate cyclops (magnification a bit too low) to reach the Big Leagues, but I am impressed how quickly Josh fixed the dial (relocating the index markers closer to the dial's periphery).

It was almost bright red. I was happy to see the orange hand too and the dial is a big improvement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 will a cyclops 116 fit these as i just got a decent version of these for another member at a good price here are the dimentions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCocktosten Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 The 116 fits nice and snug on the crystal ring and the bezel will push down right around the crystal with a bit of pressure. At least with mine. Not sure if there are wide variances case to case. Also, the date mag is almost spot on with the gens I compared to.

redwatch Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Wow Marty. Looking good. Fix that crystal and I think you've got yourself a winner. The date mag on your old one that I bought was incredible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCocktosten Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Did you use a gen 116 or one from Clark? Genuine. By the way, I had a Clark and tried it too. Similar results, though not as crisp and just a cheaper look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gplracer Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 wow Marty that looks great! What would be the proper if you did replace the crystal what is the proper one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pr0digy30 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Saw someone on RG use a Cousins crystal... looked good. Though I have no idea how it compares with a Gen 116. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Wow that looks really good... Im not a huge fan of these explorers, but its such an accurate platform for modding that i may have to build one just for fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crockey Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Looks great. I have one on the way as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martyd3 Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Guys, I was looking at the date window. It looks a little on the small side to me and you can't tell from the pics if it's beveled or not. I was thinking about ordering a Yuki dial. I know it's not perfect, but I've handled one in the past and it is very nice. I may swap it out? Your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexaddict Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Genuine. By the way, I had a Clark and tried it too. Similar results, though not as crisp and just a cheaper look. interesting, I tried one from OFrei, doesn't fit at all. I noticed almost all generic Rolex plexies from OFrei are totally out of specs. Also OFrei is expensive. Good news to know those from Clark fit as I have a few on the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
