[red series 3]

I saw this come up on rolexforums and thought it was cool but i expected their to be shock and horror.

But it was all backslapping and congrats. All 8 pages of it. I guess they miss out on seeing cool builds over there.

Here's the thread if you're interested

I said that if a noob put that same link up he would have very different posts. I guess ill be getting bashed over there soon.bunch of hypocrites.

This is all original Rolex parts and from what I've read, user Jockey can afford both the GMT and the Explorer.

But I agree that if someone here put up a similar all OEM Franken, the earth would move!

Jocke sure has all the nice tools!

It wouldn't be too hard to build the 1655 with the 1675 bezel- might do that for a day on the way to my 1675 build.

He posted that pictorial over a year ago at VRF, I was surprised at the time that he didn't get more flack, and yes alligoat..he's got incredible tools!

Ditto & he was kicked out of TZ a few years ago (not sure why). I suspect he is also a member of some rep forums.

Damn... That's a great idea.

I read that thread a while ago too, great pics, tools etc. Most people would have got crucified for doing that for sure.

Robert Moron sold quite a few Daytonas with questionable dials in the past. I would not touch a watch from him with a ten ft pole.

I Saw that thread a few months back. I am a member there since I have/ had gens....

I thought he used an aftermarket dial and hands.

I also mentioned that frankens like these are common in vintage and that I would avoid buying really expensive pieces because of the Frankenstein practice...

I have to agree that Jocke can afford both. He has an amazing collection of watches. I remember he recently bought an A. Lange & Sohne. Quite the beautiful watch.
