I have been on here for years but just back into the hobby. Still one of my favorites that I did. Custom dial and bezel on a 116520. Brushed the case and band.

I like that. The red and the gold set each other off nicely. Shades of the BB red.

Very simple mod. I removed the black insert from my 16713LN and replaced it with a 16713 root beer insert.

That looks pretty good. If it were me, I would have left it on TT bracelet.

Wow that completely changes the watch. I would keep both inserts and switch it up every now and then!

Can’t see the photo, is there any way you can try uploading it again?

I’m curios to see this watch!

That might be one of the best looking Daytona's I have ever seen. And you can read it!

Any details on the custom parts?

The PVD/DLC on these two have held up very well over the last several years. These are my travel watches and don’t scream “Rolex.”

114060 no date with Yacht-Master second hand and rubberB with rolex glidelock clasp.

116710LN with a clear caseback. Pretty subtle but I love it.
