astonjenks Posted January 27, 2014 Report Posted January 27, 2014 The story so far: A couple of months ago I bough from my good friend and fellow member Legend (Alvin) his PB built Baron DSSD with the intention to make this a really unique piece. For those of you that know, the Baron was a small run of 10 watches, CG's removed and various refinishing of the cases and a Swiss movement, reminiscent of a Bespoke DSSD from a number of aftermarket modders with Rolex's blessing. Anyway, the brief was clear, give this baby the lume it deserved with nothing other than gen lume, fit a cyclops so that ridiculous tiny date can be seen in a true Sub fashion and waterproof her ready for some serious action. In the meantime I got a beautiful new DSSD with slide from BK to finish the whole thing off. The following photos are hot off the press from Kenny who is a genius at these builds/mods and I thank him greatly for his Artisan work, I hope you like them. Best regards AJ 1
Legend Posted January 27, 2014 Report Posted January 27, 2014 You, sir, are an artist. I salute thee for the wicked looking beauty. I really dig the new magnification on the date cyclops!Wear her well!

ThinkBachs Posted January 30, 2014 Report Posted January 30, 2014 OMG.......................................................
astonjenks Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Posted February 3, 2014 So here she is back home, fitted with new BK bracelet after being serviced, regulated, waterproofed, relumed (brilliantly) and cyclops fitted. The new owner of Lou's piece should have this done, it makes a really good watch a great watch! Regards AJ
archierocks Posted February 3, 2014 Report Posted February 3, 2014 only thing stopping me liking this more is the blue pearl i just don't know if i like it one min i do next I'm like nope but it does look a stunning watch on the bracelet
astonjenks Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Posted February 3, 2014 In the flesh trust me it just finishes her off beautifully and a regular pearl would look nowhere near as good. AJ
