FxrAndy Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 What if you happen to have an old rep with a He valve but a thin case with lug holes What if the mineral crystal was all scratched? you could fit a plexy in there??? What if you had an unmarked rolex type dial, but wanted to make it a bit different What if you liked the look of the old big 8mm crowns and no crown guards And what if you had a load of Tritec W9 BL lume Im my case all these things happened This was a real crappy seadweller rep that i bought in 2005 and abused for a year or so, the A21j is still going fine and has never been worked on (over 7 years now) Now it a bit of a custom that i may just wear again.

FxrAndy Posted July 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Thanks guys it was fun to rumage through the parts and see what i could come up with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 You know, if Rolex took notes from guys like you and companies like Panerai they would have a hell of a market. Panerai changes a screw on one of there models, gives it a new number and it flies off the shelves! I wonder how profitable companies like Project X and Bamford are with their aftermarket fantasy Rolex releases?Oh..... and I think it looks amazing Andy! Nice job!!!!

cc33 Posted July 16, 2012 Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 I wish I had a spare parts box comparable to yours, very very nice. I think that's the way to go, create something matching your exact tastes for your own enjoyment. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
