docdoowop Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Some light mods done to it like a gen crown, vintage relume, drilled lugs.. thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Probably better to post this in the Rolex forum, lots of knowledge there. Right off, the clasp is wrong, the 62473 is a jubilee bracelet so the clasp has been changed to the incorrect one. I don't care for the Explorers, and never got familiar with them, but lots of guys on the Rolex forum here are very knowledgeable regarding Explorers.

docdoowop Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 good,mthat's a start. clasp is wrong. thanks for the info. first thing i noticed was the lume markers, the most outer ones. they dont touch the rehaut and they should.

hugop Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Doc if that is the Cartel 1655 it is a great base to mod to a 1675 GMT. On the Cartel the dial is usually marked Swiss T25 though and is 26mm so this may not be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UmpaHimself Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Depends on the price. Doesn't look bad, CGs could be shaped better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I think it looks great. The thing that would bother me slightly is the gap of Square Minute markers , they should touch the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denimhead Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Old cartel model - So CG's and case basically the Wrong shape, bezel font incorrect,dial is sadly 'all' wrong. Orange 24hr hand wrong profile Sorry but I'd buy the latest Cartel white lume with the 'nearly' correct mk6 dial. Change the bezel for one of yuki's latest ones flat '4's and remove a lot of metal from the case. Have a look at my previous posts for all info regarding the 1655 model Cheers DH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffew66 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 Correct me if I'm wrong, the case sides look to crisp for a vintage Exp2. I have an older Sub and mine are more smooth? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
