red series 3 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 http://www.watchwallpapers.com/hte.htm 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 https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=236497 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielv2000 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woof* Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 He posted that pictorial over a year ago at VRF, I was surprised at the time that he didn't get more flack 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not touch a watch from him with a ten ft pole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gw4k Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 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...

PhilFree Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 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! 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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
