kent2 Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 POINTED CROWN GUARDS ? Did rolex offer pointed crown guards or is it a field modification only ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Just to clairify, dluddy sent me pics of the work he was needing done on the CG's, and having never seen CG's sharpened to a actual point, my interpretation and the work I did was to make them "thinner" when viewed from above, as I do on all the CG's I modify. I wasn't aware and didn't pick up on the pics sent, or the letter describing "pointy", so that's why they are not modified as actual points. My mistake, I did not know that there were actual CG's that were cut down on the upper and lower edges to look as they do in the pics...

dluddy Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Okay, dluddy ... your assignment, should you choose to accept it... Find me a gilt dial for my GMT Master. I, um, gave my last one away. Here's one Gilt GMT Dial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dluddy Posted November 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Update: Just for Freddy - added a Gen 9315 Folded bracelet with 380 endlinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 You're a cruel, cruel man. JUST as I got the bleeding stopped... you post this? Ah, here's a quick way to get my revenge... look in your last photo, the last semi-link just before the clasp. Is that a crack in the center link??? My SD bracelet has had most of the center links replaced because of wear like that. Heads up... don't let that thing fail so you drop your watch!
