thomasng Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 I'm thinking about taking my GMT and modifying it closest to gen. I just want to list what we would need to do to it: 1) New datewheel 2) Cyclops 3) AR coating 4) ReLume 5) Palp Crown It's just I'm not sure about where to have AR caoting done. Is that it? I'm really looking forward to making this as close to gen, and I hope you guys are too, maybe another group discount?
ahchard Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 I am keen on a group mod... I have already ordered cyclops... need to find a datewheel... as for AR I read a thread in the old rwg about someone doing it...can't remember who....
thomasng Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Posted April 12, 2006 dont forget the gen rotor... Sorry, but that doesn't matter to me and I don't think it does to the majority of the people in this group buy. I have no intention of fooling a WIS with it anyways, since he/she would spot it before they whipped the caseback opener out already. There's no display back anyways, so there's no point.
cwai02 Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 dont forget the gen rotor... What's the point? I won't let anyone to open the case anyway.
Esmarc Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 dont forget the gen rotor... This is a total inside joke now...and I almost spit on my monitor! YoDaddyNukka....yaaaakkknooowwwaaaadddiiiimmmmeeaaaaaannnnnn Esmarc
yodaddynukka Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 lol at least someone got it! This is a total inside joke now...and I almost spit on my monitor! YoDaddyNukka....yaaaakkknooowwwaaaadddiiiimmmmeeaaaaaannnnnn Esmarc
Richard Tracy Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 I try to buy the most accurate out of the box, so I don't have to go through the mods thing unless absolutely necessary. Saves money for more watches... Plus, if I end up handcuffed to that curious and all knowing guy with the genuine version of my watch of the day.. as long as I don't take off mine and hand it to him with a loupe.. and a caliper... I should be fine.
yodaddynukka Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 i like to get mine as accurate as i can just to see the look on the face of one who owns a gen! nothing beats that feeling!!!
slay Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 lol at least someone got it! i got it too and i was going to [censored] at the others for not getting it until i read esmarcs post
Richard Tracy Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 Seriously though,.... where you place your efforts is a personal choice, I'm amazed at what some have accomplished with their pieces,.. pretty much making them the real deal at a fraction of the price. Maybe one day, I will have the time to work all the issues out, right now however I'm just concentrating on obtaining the best models I can, for me, and I'm finding that there's more watches than I had anticipated... Well back to searching....
thedoctor Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 How does a new cyclops get put on? Is the old one pried off and the new one glued on?
