The aftermarket bezel insert in post #2, the display case back, and the leather sport strap can all be changed to factory parts in twenty minutes.
100% agreed! If you're enjoying the watch, then you are doing it right! Mods like yours can easily be changed back to original, which is totally fine in my book. It's the permanent mods like iced out/bust down, which I am personally not a fan of.

Normally, I always prefer a bracelet, but that leather perforated strap on yours looks pretty nice!

Thanks! Presto changeo, back to stock with a genuine pepsi bezel insert. It's like a woman changing lipstick color.

Hey I'm just playing and couldn't resist!

Obviously it's your watch to do as you please and as long as you're happy.

Statutory rape then!



I actually love the Blueberry dial...have you tried it?

I have no desire to try the Blueberry insert, but for those who do: Go for it!
