the playful eyes Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 What types of mods can I do to an exp ii? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Depends on which one you're starting with. Some need more than others. However, as a general list of mods I would do... -Genuine dial -Genuine bezel -Genuine Twinlock crown/tube -Genuine (78790/A) OR hollow link rep bracelet/clasp Then, depending on which version you have, it may be a good idea to address the movement (in this case, I'd suggest a 2836 GMT mod with the correct hand stack), and the correct GMT hand (corret in terms of length and arrow shape). The genuine dial typically runs $250-ish; the bezel runs around the same (at least what my supplier has quoted me). Crown/tube combos can be found on eBay. I recommend fitting genuine parts where possible because gen parts simply look and feel the part (hence resulting in a better rep). All in all, it could be a pricey venture, but will no doubt come in costing less than a gen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the playful eyes Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Thanks Ubi! How do I know which ones would fit the EXP ii? Are they all the same? How about this one? http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Rolex-Crown-Dateju...1QQcmdZViewItem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
