My first mods


woof*

Recommended Posts

I bought my first rep a couple months ago from josh..and like all my other hobbies.. I have to modify and make them my own way.

:thumbsupsmileyanim: :thumbsupsmileyanim:

I bought several straps and bands and settled on a 2 piece blk/orange nato style, and found on my small wrists that two piece nato's work better for on a larger watch (above 40mm) for me.

I also scored a gen Omega buckle for 15$ on WUS!

I was happy with this for awhile.......and then I bought a black insert...lol :rolleyes:

I have tried to pop the bezel's on my rolex subs with no luck.....(just have not found the right tool/blade so far), but my PO bezel was easy to remove and swap inserts.

So I bought a heavy shark mesh on the bay..and here is where I'm at now

Please excuse the pic quality..Iphone cam is all I have so far.

I like both versions so much that I'm tempted to buy a second PO..but this time a swiss, so I can do the dial/hands/crowns and tube!

So far just simple and humble mods..but a big difference for me! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

HOw did you pop the insert in the PO??

I used a small multitool blade. It was pretty easy..just a little pressure and leverage between the case and bezel.

The insert..you press from behind the bezel with thumbs.....after going around the rim on the back it will begin to lift up. After that i used a small tool to take it the rest the way off.

There is a little glue/cement on it that holds it in. The new insert was just snapped in..stays on it's own.

Awesome. How addictive mods can be.

Here's mine with dial, hands, bezel, datewheel, crystal, crown/tube and gen rubber.
