Right one would be my choice just for the look of it :)

 

Me too, right looks very cool!

 

Interesting project. Good luck with it.

It was a toss up for me between #1 and the middle one but after looking at them both for a while I will have to agree with everyone else the middle one takes it. Good luck with should be a great project.

Maybe it's just me, but ever since this thing popped up in the Rolex world the discussion has been is it real, or memorex? I think we all know the answer. To that, I'm glad rolex never built it. It just an ugly watch...

In terms of dials, the middle one.

Ha ha! I knew one of those nasty things would pop after my comment! Scary that those are actually real watches!! My prob with the others is the proportions. They just look odd to me. It's all good!

Where are you sourcing the case and band/end pieces?

Good question. I want one too!

Found the case/bracelet on ebay (250 bucks or so). According to some HFers it's probably a rep of the fake US Marines that was made in Asia (Vietnam) around 2007. As I am currently working on a movie involving a US Marine I am looking forward to using the watch on him as a kind of ultra-insider joke :-)

I would love to build one

 

 

Finding it extremely difficult to decide how to build. 

 

One voice states with overwhelming logic that the original fake US-M version is worth more, easier to sell on and of more historic interest.

Another demands beadblasting, black bezel and a Commando dial as a matter of taste.

 

Also, I have to admit that as far as HF &RWG community devotion goes, it becomes kind of a duty to go for option 1.

 

But although I spend embarrassing amounts of time on HF & RWG, I don't tend to wear "purist" or true-to-original reps or SS watches as such, regarding Rolex I only wear this Space-Dweller 2 prototype that I got last year...so I'm fearing that I wouldn't use the US Marine true version a lot...
