That crown tube is correct for a 702 crown.  Nice build!

Nice build man ! I just finished mine a few days ago as well.

Beautiful watches and well taken photos!

There’s just something about the Double Red. IMHO the pinnacle of 4-digit tool Rolex.

Couldn’t agree more ! I love my double red build.  Likely a watch I’ll keep for a while. 
 

@nanuq thanks again for the pointers on the CG shape 😎🤘🏼

Can only be fake or Genium.
