freddy333 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 I would have gone with a Rolex Sub dial & crown, but other than that, nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendota Explorer Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 (edited) Nice work, Jelliottz! I like that seconds hand and the fading on the insert. Good to see you over here. One thing I really like about RWG is the level of expertise when it comes to vintage and especially gen parts vintage franken builds. I thought HF was an amazing place for vintage pieces and then I started spending more time here. "Wow" is the only word that comes to mind.
