I like it

M4rkg4rd3n · 22 July 2014, 03:59 PM

Love it looks cool

bondtoys · 22 July 2014, 04:49 PM

Great Modifications but very highly overpriced imo.

Rock · 22 July 2014, 04:55 PM

A fun custom version.
Thanks for the link Ken, very interesting read.
It would certainly be a good 'conversation piece' among the initiated.

In Hong Kong you could buy a mint 5513 and a wardrobe of tailor-made safari suits for that price.

sierra11b · 22 July 2014, 04:59 PM

I gotta say... I love the 114060 but if Rolex did a version just like this but with straighter chamfers on a non-maxi case and no crown guards I would have thrown my money at it quicker than greased goose poo! It wouldn't even need a red pip to homage the original.

HogwldFLTR · 22 July 2014, 07:52 PM

Wonderful watch with way back Bond cool!

draggnation · 22 July 2014, 07:57 PM

Interesting vintage piece.

dukerules · 22 July 2014, 08:13 PM

Fantastic!

Nycturbovr6 · 22 July 2014, 11:28 PM

Very cool and very gutsy to start chopping the crown guards off

A.Sharp · 23 July 2014, 01:21 AM

Nato it!

00Seven · 23 July 2014, 01:43 AM

Better yet, a Seiko SPR007...

I like it a lot

jlc123 · 23 July 2014, 02:23 AM

I don't know why so many people dislike this mod, I'm a fan. If I'm not mistaken there was a small batch of these made and this is not an individual mod?

I actually feel the slightly twisted lugs soften the squared look of the original case (which I do not prefer).

Overall, I like this watch!

Nice mod, looks great!

Crappy pic of my 5512.

els4 · 23 July 2014, 10:47 AM

Nice, but I would go for a black bay for a great vintage look.

els4 · 23 July 2014, 10:48 AM

Correction...went for the black bay.
