I have a little project in the works that I have been drooling over for a long time

. Can anyone guess?? I will post more as the project progresses.

GMT 16750? (Oh wait...that's what I'm thinking about....)

I'm guessing it's Rolex related since you posted in the Rolex Gen Discussion forum.

Is it a make your own caseback opener??

meloncap78 · 2 March 2010, 12:32 PM

It is most definitely Rolex related

.

sakuraba · 2 March 2010, 12:43 PM

Is it LV related? Maybe a black insert?

CPTL · 2 March 2010, 12:44 PM

How about a PVD job for that LV. The black out Marine vesion??

In a word....no! But enjoy it and drop us a clue every now and then!

You are inventing an "invisible" Rolex? That would be nice. Wait I have one on my wrist right now, or do I?

sleddog · 17 March 2010, 10:36 AM

Looks great Joshua!!! I like it alot......

Kanger · 17 March 2010, 10:37 AM

Is that a Sub with a clear caseback? If so, it's pretty cool.

meloncap78 · 17 March 2010, 10:41 AM

Yep, it's my LV with a case back from Thomas Preik via Larry's (Tools) recommendation. Thanks Larry!!!

Lol-x · 17 March 2010, 10:43 AM

Congrats, I've got the same caseback on my LV and it works great.

My project will be of a similar nature but it will be on a Daytona.

Looking forward to the pics on that Daytona Steve....Especialy with the new dial and hands set!!!

meloncap78 · 17 March 2010, 10:48 AM

Can't wait to see the Daytona Steve. That little hint of red on the rotor looks amazing through the sapphire!!
