aphillipe Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 After selling all my reps back in February, I decided to start from scratch and go the vintage Rolex route. I'm 5 watches in so far but hope to keep it under 10 in total so they all get some wrist time and can be of good quality. I wanted to thank PBDad for his builds, and Jase (JDog on most of the forums) for his outstanding modding work and lastly Dave for his servicing as all movements just got serviced outside the Heritage as it's brand new anyways. And YES I suck at photography but I don't have the time at the moment to do this justice..Watches in my box:1665 Great White SD: MBW Case Softened/Reshaped Gen 703 Crown Polex Pete Datewheel with Open 6/9's Swiss 2846 ETA Serviced April 2015 Faded Dial/Bezel PBDad Vintage Lume1680 Red Sub: PT Case Softened/Reshaped Swiss ETA Serviced 6/2015 Gen 702 Crown/Tube Ingod Dial Aged/Relumed Polex Pete Datewheel WSO Bezel Assembly Gen Tension Spring Custom Insert/Pearl Gen Springbars Gen Endlinks Mix/Match Gen(50%)/Rep Rivet Stretch Bracelet5512 Sub: MBW Case softened/reshaped Gen 702 Crown/Tube Swiss ETA Serviced 6/2015 2mm Drilled Lugs Stern Plexi Yuki Dial (relumed) WSO Hand Set Custom Insert Aged/Faded5513 Pointed Crown Guard Gilt Sub: DW Case Custom Pointed Crown Guards 2mm Drilled Lugs Gen Springbars Clark Plexi Whoopy Gilt Dial/Hands Relumed WSO Bezel Assembly Aged Pearl Aftermarket Bracelet w/ TC Clasp Thinned Crown/Tube Swiss 2846 ETA Serviced 6/2015PBDad Heritage HS01 Sub: BK Noob No-Date Sub Siwss 2836 Movement Individually Numbered Caseback Custom Vintage Lume in Tritec Superluminova Custom Ivory Enameled Seconds Hand, Skinny Hour Hand Platinum Ceramic Bezel Marker Enamel Custom Red Triangle Crown Guards Removed Custom Chamfering Yuki 8mm Brevet Crown/TubeCurrent builds underway: 1675 Blueberry GMT w/ Custom Red GMT Hand Tempus Machina 6538 (it's happening!) by PBDadFuture Build considerations: 6538 <$1,000 budget build 6542 Pan Am (if Ingod is actually back) 1675 Gilt Dial Pepsi ??

droptopman Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Great collection man. Being a cigar guy I dig your first photo. Can't decide which one I like best they are all very well executed. You would not regret doing a full on 6538 build. Sent from my droptop using telepathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphillipe Posted June 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Thanks drop (especially coming from you)... Those cigars are hand rolled by an ex cigar roller of Fidel Castro at the famous boutique hotel and cigar factory Graycliff in the Bahamas...they are about as good as it gets! Watched them make them for me while we ate dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched them make them for me while we ate dinner. I am familiar with these cigars. Very special. You can tell by the pics they are one off rolled. Two of my favorite things cigars and Rolex's Sent from my droptop using telepathy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
