denimhead Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Good Morning Gent, Just managed to bag a nice 2010 Rolexfinder MBW Jumbo Royal Oak. Has anyone ever managed to remove the screw 'plugs' from the bezel in order to reduce their thickness in essence creating a more recessed Gen look. I'm calling them plugs as I'm pretty sure the MBW didn't have the Gen barrel screw construction but i may be wrong Any info greatly appreciated Cheers DH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Rolexfinder used to replace the original screws with polished SS ones, so I guess they can be removed...You can easily damage them so be careful... That's a nice catch, I've got a black dial one, and love it. I think it is a bit more thick than the gen, and has got a closed caseback but definitely a quality rep...

Hi Prof, yep I've been after one for a while and its a black dialed one too. I'm going to re-lume it using a creamier colour including the gap in the AP logo. Having looked at the history of the Royal Oak if you somehow replaced the numbers on the dial for printed stick markers it would end up being a close rep to a series C 5402.
