I didn't know that Rolex did AR coatings on their watches. Do they coat both sides of the crystal?

I'll certainly be waiting with the BLRO Neil. I see what you're saying about the date window, but it doesn't bother me (IMHO looks just like the SD4K).

Spot on looks like something Rolex should do. PCLs are for YG bracelets only. JMHO

Timrolexnl · 14 May 2017, 12:25 AM

Well done!
How much did the Modifications cost ?

subtona · 14 May 2017, 12:29 AM

All good.

RichM · 14 May 2017, 12:38 AM

Looks good Clive.

Annan · 14 May 2017, 12:40 AM

I really like the date wheel and the brushed links. When I owned a GMTII-C I also had the PCLs brushed and liked it much better that way.

benvh · 14 May 2017, 12:40 AM

I like it. Nice work!

Does this invalidate the warranty, or would Rolex just change it back if sent to RSC? Would they give your our date wheel back or just steal it? It would seem illegal to keep it. ?

At this point, any warranty is voided. Read the last line.

They will service the watch but would require it be restored to original state but the warranty is gone. He can have it restored to original state before sending it in though and they probably wouldn't know.

Very nice.

DramaTurtle · 14 May 2017, 01:05 AM

I'm a stock guy but it looks gorgeous honestly.

Yes but only under the location of the cyclops

I paid 520€ for the crystal and the date wheel, and the watchmaker charged 150€ (including brushing the PCLs).

Nooooooo!!!! Kidding of course...
The change looks good for something different but the BLRO is perfection as is.
Enjoy em'!!

I took this into consideration (and kept the original parts), and decided to go ahead anyway. I may not have done so if it were my only watch.

c41006 · 14 May 2017, 02:00 AM

This may seem strange but removing the cyclops seems to throw the watch off balance in my opinion.

I like the brushed bracelet look though. I'd do the same if I wasn't in the anti-mod camp.

sickened1 · 14 May 2017, 02:02 AM

Looks great! Love that brushed bracelet. The date looks kinda small to me but that's probably just my age.

Savitr · 14 May 2017, 02:06 AM

Your mods look awesome, almost like the watch should have come from the factory just like that!!

Looks GREAT! It's surprising to the eyes but I really like the result. Good call on the Daytona crystal swap too. That AR ghost would totally ruin my day.

sea-dweller · 14 May 2017, 04:37 AM

Looks nice!

Green wheel might be a bit too much for me but I like the other mods alot.
