5513 Gilt & Pointy

[kent2]

POINTED CROWN GUARDS ?

Did rolex offer pointed crown guards or is it a field modification only ?

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...

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

Ziggy, no worries. My Pics weren't that great. We were forging new ground here. We'll get them cleaned up later

Anything's possible???

You got PM!

You don't mess with the Doxa King when he's on a mission.

MORE than awesome. Ziggy is the master when it comes to this stuff.

The The Zigmeister's lume on the dial is really better than the gen

Understood, it's not the first time we have been forging new ground

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Dluddy, you have GOT to post an ugly picture of this watch so I can stop dreaming about it!

[dluddy]

Update: Just for Freddy - added a Gen 9315 Folded bracelet with 380 endlinks

[Nanuq]

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!

[docblackrock]

Just seen this....

Gilt dials always make me

Not cracked under the loop...just a little rough on the outside edge on that side...

Thanks for the heads up
