Nanuq Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 Tonight's project.... they say a picture is worth 1,000 words, here are a few thousand. Enjoy! Time for some akevit!
dieselpower Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 The GMT master is the first gen rolex I ever saw. Some rich kid at school wore one when he was 14 years old! Very nice, like the step by step photos. Enjoy.
tmg Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 B, glad the hand went to good use! It looks right at home.
Nanuq Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Posted September 27, 2012 B, glad the hand went to good use! It looks right at home. I'm glad you like it! She's comfortably at home now, ticking merrily away. Small problem though, when pressing the crystal retaining ring back on, I *cough* dented the caseback. I'm thinking who here has the biggest, manliest machine press? Hmmmmmm... JMB comes to mind. Think I'll PM him and see if he wants to tackle making my caseback flat-ish again.
Nanuq Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Posted September 27, 2012 Lets see a pic of your case back Hey man, never on the first date!
freddy333 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 If this was a dress watch, I would get it fixed/replaced. But, on a tool watch, as long as it is not impeding the rotor, I would leave the caseback as it is. It adds character.
tmg Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 Ouch!!! I hate when that kinda $hit happens...
Nanuq Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Posted September 27, 2012 If this was a dress watch, I would get it fixed/replaced. But, on a tool watch, as long as it is not impeding the rotor, I would leave the caseback as it is. It adds character. It doesn't hit the rotor, so that's good. I'm thinking... fill it with gas fumes and strike a match...... PFOOM!!! Small internal explosion, caseback is pushed back out again. Lesson learned: a 1675 caseback is way weaker than a 1665.
irolexu Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 Oh man it's ruined send it to me ill give it a nice funeral
Nanuq Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Posted September 27, 2012 RIP? Rest In Pieces?? Uh oh, I feel another test coming on.............

It adds character. yes we could say that the watch was on a airoplane and ditched in the sea and went deep.deep,deep and suffered from the pressure ,everyone likes a story
aeromatic Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 RIP? Rest In Pieces?? Uh oh, I feel another test coming on............. so thats how rolex tests there watches in different tempertures in these hard economic times? man this watch must have been really hated
FxrAndy Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 RIP? Rest In Pieces?? Uh oh, I feel another test coming on............. Dont you dare!,,,,,,,,,
Nanuq Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Posted September 27, 2012 I wonder how a plexiglas crystal would hold up to that heat? Heck, it's already tropical, maybe we can urge it along a little......
dluddy Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 Just hit it with the Rover and all will be good
aeromatic Posted September 27, 2012 Report Posted September 27, 2012 Oh, you don't want to know. What did that poor watch do to anybody to deserve this treatment! Yikes
Nanuq Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Posted September 27, 2012 Just hit it with the Rover and all will be good Why didn't I think of that?!!
