Lucacoach81 Posted February 20, 2019 Report Posted February 20, 2019 Great!Want to do the same on mine.Where did you get it? Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk
Mendota Explorer Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 This looks great. How difficult was it to source the right crystal for it and where did you get it? Part of me thinks Rolex should have released this without a cyclops, to really pay tribute to the Sea Dweller history.
Nanuq Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Roger that. I personally think they should make it without the date function. How often do you need to know the date while diving?

Not cheap but worse the change. 1

Can’t beat a gen crystal. I have one on its way to me plus a new prof black hole for the sd43 also on route so will make a comparison on my Noob V2 126600. If prof’s looks good I might recover some money back on the gen crystal. This was my Arf I frankened last year and sold. Tribal yours looks great my friend. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2
Mendota Explorer Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 How much is Prof's crystal versus a gen crystal? I told myself I would never buy a modern Rolex rep again and would ONLY do vintage builds from here on out, but damn this is my favorite modern reference and this looks so damned good.
watcher Posted February 25, 2019 Report Posted February 25, 2019 Prof’s is $198+shipping. Gen in my case was $650+shipping!!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1

Tribal Posted February 27, 2019 Author Report Posted February 27, 2019 So next steps to improve the ARF V2 is Gen Crown and Tube.Clicksprings are done.Gen Hyrtelring for the bezel.Maybe reshaping the CG's.Keep you updated.Gesendet von meinem Mi MIX 2S mit Tapatalk 1

watcher Posted March 8, 2019 Report Posted March 8, 2019 Size 7 mm?Inviato dal mio iPhone utilizzando Tapatalk The SD43 uses a standard 704 crown like Subs etc. Looks good my friend!!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 3
Tribal Posted March 8, 2019 Author Report Posted March 8, 2019 Next step is to archive the matte texture on the dial like Gen. Gen Will try this on the ARF Dial by deinstalling the markers and put some matte varnish on the dial, like I did on some vintage Dials. 1
Ticktick Posted March 10, 2019 Report Posted March 10, 2019 You can do this but the disadvantage will be that the printed fonts no more will appear raised. Did this with an airbrush on a Noob 116600V2. Turned out good but I think gen is still different. Greets Andi 1
Tribal Posted March 10, 2019 Author Report Posted March 10, 2019 Yes, know that, but I think is barely visible with the naked eye.Yours turns out really good I think.Good job.Gesendet von meinem Mi MIX 2S mit Tapatalk
