irolexu Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hey guys, as some of you know I have had my fair share of super reps and super builds but recently I randomly wanted an LV really bad cause the whole maxi dial and green insert just pop out to me for what ever reason. Anyways dcparks87 posted an LV and knowing him personally I decided id bite. Watch came with no insert, washer, or click spring so I went to SMEA in Dallas and picked up generic Rolex replacement parts and here she is! I have never seen such quality out of the box in person. Perfect SEL, dial print unbelievable and get this. Weighed it and then weighed a gen and both came out exactly 89.1 penny weights! Unbelievable. Anyways here some fun pics. I already did some light mods -best LV rep insert I could find in town -brand new washer -brand new click spring modded for correct tension (feels very gen like now) -corrected the gasket to a true 2.7mm (stock one was too tall and caused date mag issue) -gen 2824 h4 Off to the pics!

droptopman Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Looks great. Nice to see side by side comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 What I can't believe more than the aesthetics is the weight. They both are identical to the T on weight not one digit off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
