Sun
I acquired a yatch master seconds hand, red/black date wheel, and a Thomas P. Clear case back. My AD will be doing the clear case back this week. Im going to hold off on the date wheel and seconds hand until the first service. The RSC will not touch any modded watch so it's off to ABC or Jewelers on time. I contacted both companies and they are capable and willing to do a full service and not charge any extra for adding the parts since it's part of the service of removing the cleaning of parts any ways. My next quest is a search for oyster flex!

Modified rolex photos please!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really like the bezel-less simple look of a no date submariner.
It might be a stupid question, but still do you guys think it’s possible to install a fixed smooth bezel on a submariner? Similar to the 1019 Milgauss for example? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

My SubC is at LAWW getting the bezel matted down a smidge.
Estimate was 2 week turn around, it’s been right at two weeks. Hopefully it’s done this week! Good work = lead time, I get that just really stoked to get it back. |

She is having some medical issues that are preventing her from continuing on with watch repair. She is still on from time to time.

Very nice !
White (silver ?) open 6/9's date wheel with correct serifs plus correct rounded three (I hope). Either from a 16660 or a 16800 -?-. Maxi LV dial. Yatchmaster hands. Non cyclops Crystal (a la 16600). Red triangle insert. Nice !!!

Any cyclopsless 116610’s out there? I think I have read the Daytona crystal can be used?

Has anyone thought of swapping the 214270 hands with the new 214270 hands that are larger? I love the white gold 3,6,9 but the hands are a little dainty. I would love to see it or find a place that can do it. Is that something rolex would do during a service potentially?

Hi guys!
2 questions for you. 1, does anyone have some pic of a cyclopsless/cyclops removed 126600? 2, when you size your oyster flex with aftermarket link (think about 116500s), does the measurements match the Rolex sizing charts indications? (if I get a 116500, I'll buy aftermarket ends and try to buy of... but, if my ad let me use the sizing charts of gold Daytonas will them be ok when I put the results on aftermarket ends? So, are the aftermarket ends the same of the originals (talking of dimensions, obviously).?

Bezel brushed to match case.
Looks a bit more proper as a tool watch. |

Rik has finished the hand swap and says it looks great. Should be back home next week!
Can’t wait! I had him put on 16610LV hands on my 14060M |
